Road Freight Services

Introduction

Route International Cargo’s road freight services form a critical link in the international logistics chain, connecting ports, airports, warehouses, and final delivery destinations across borders. Our road freight division is built on reliability, scalability, and regional knowledge, ensuring that your cargo moves swiftly and securely from origin to destination — even in remote or landlocked regions.

Regional & Cross-Border Coverage

With a network of reliable carriers and regional hubs, we provide full domestic and cross-border trucking coverage across South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. From Kathmandu to Kolkata, or from Dubai to Muscat, our road logistics solutions bridge the gap between sea or air ports and inland cities, industrial zones, and border checkpoints.

Key Road Freight Services:

1. Full Truck Load (FTL): A dedicated truck for your shipment, offering faster delivery times and reduced handling. Ideal for high-volume shipments.

2. Less-than-Truck Load (LTL): Cost-effective solutions for smaller cargo by sharing truck space with other clients. Great for SMEs.

3. Refrigerated Trucks (Reefer): For temperature-sensitive goods like food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals.

4. Flatbed & Lowbed Trailers: Used for oversized or heavy cargo like construction materials, equipment, and vehicles.

5. Express Road Freight: Time-critical deliveries with dedicated vehicles and 24/7 dispatch.

6. Container Drayage: Short-haul trucking services for transporting containers to and from ports, rail terminals, and customer sites.

Operational Workflow:

1. Booking & Route Planning: Once a shipment is scheduled, our system selects the most efficient route based on traffic, customs regulations, and road conditions. Clients are notified with pickup and delivery ETAs.

2. Cargo Collection: Our fleet or contracted partners pick up the cargo from your warehouse, port, or customs depot.

3. Tracking in Transit: All vehicles are GPS-enabled, and you receive real-time tracking updates via our portal or mobile app.

4. Customs & Border Support: For cross-border movements, we assist with necessary transit documents, permits, and duties at checkpoints.

5. Delivery & POD: Upon arrival, the cargo is offloaded safely, and proof of delivery is captured digitally.
