Shipping costs

Often, an LTL shipper may realize savings by utilizing a freight broker, online marketplace or other intermediary, instead of contracting directly with a trucking company. Brokers can shop the marketplace and obtain lower rates than most smaller shippers can obtain directly. In the LTL marketplace, intermediaries typically receive 50% to 80% discounts from published rates, where a small shipper may only be offered a 5% to 30% discount by the carrier. Intermediaries are licensed by the DOT and have requirements to provide proof of insurance.

Truckload freight

Truckload freight

In the United States, shipments larger than about 7,000 kg (15,432 lb) are typically classified as truckload (TL) freight. This is because it is more efficient and economical for a large shipment to have exclusive use of one larger trailer rather than share space on a smaller LTL trailer.
The total weight of a loaded truck (tractor and trailer, 5-axle rig) cannot exceed 36,000 kg (79,366 lb) in the United States{fact}. In ordinary circumstances, long-haul equipment will weigh about 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), leaving about 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) of freight capacity. Similarly a load is limited to the space available in the trailer, normally 48 ft (14.63 m) or 53 ft (16.15 m) long, 2.6 m (102.4 in) wide, 2.7 m (8 ft 10.3 in) high and 13 ft 6 in/4.11 m high over all.

Cargo Train

Train

Trains are capable of transporting large numbers of containers that come from shipping ports. Trains are also used for the transportation of steel, wood and coal. They are used because they can carry a large amount and generally have a direct route to the destination. Under the right circumstances, freight transport by rail is more economic and energy efficient than by road, especially when carried in bulk or over long distances.
The main disadvantage of rail freight is its lack of flexibility. For this reason, rail has lost much of the freight business to road transport. Rail freight is often subject to transshipment costs, since it must be transferred from one mode of transportation to another. 

Cargo Marine

Marine


  • Automobiles are handled at many ports and are usually carried on specialized roll-on/roll-off ships.
  • Break bulk cargo is typically material stacked on wooden pallets and lifted into and out of the hold of a vessel by cranes on the dock or aboard the ship itself. The volume of break bulk cargo has declined dramatically worldwide as containerization has grown. A safe and secure way to secure break bulk and freight in containers is by using Dunnage Bags.

Container transport

Percentage of freight containers, compared with other ways of transportation increases, despite the crisis. The development of this type of transport is the percentage growth of no less than existing ones. The volume of traffic will increase as the construction of new multi-modal container yards. In practice, terminals for the transportation of cargo containers are needed in each locality with a population of half a million inhabitants.
Container shipping has tangible benefits. Reducing the need for storage space - one of them. The container has a roof, so no need to seek special storage facilities and build their terminals. Especially in Russia it is very urgent, because affected by the lack of warehouses. Another advantage, does not require stevedores. Typically, work overload has a special crane. As a whole automates this process and leads to faster delivery. And the environmental conditions for frequent does not affect the transport and cargo safety.

How to insure the cargo and how to get insurance

Cargo Insurance - one of the most effective ways to reduce risks during transport. However, many companies, seeking to save money, refuse to cargo insurance, hoping that "all right". Practice shows that such savings is risky, because in case of damage or loss of cargo losses could reach a very substantial sum. As the CFO is particularly interested in minimizing possible financial losses, it should be clear about on what risks should insure the cargo, and what the nuances in this case should be taken into account.

On the roof

If it is to carry something very big, say, a refrigerator or a sofa, then the simplest solution is to place cargo on the roof of the car. Especially if the car is set on the roof rack. It would be easy - put and went. However, there are nuances. First we need to take into account the mass of the load. The roof of most vehicles not designed to load more than 50-70 kg. But even if the cargo weight is less than the permissible limit, to rejoice too early. At each mound and potholes load jumps, due to which the load on the roof are much higher. With frequent trips to the load can lead roof rack, leaving the door will be less close. In severe cases, may crack windshields. So, bringing their own ancient chest weighing hundredweight, maybe it will save on rent "Gazelles," You give but then saved by repairing the body.
