The time estimates listed above refer to days taken from the date that our drivers receive the cargo. Note that it doesn’t account for unforeseeable delays.
We provide an online warehouse management system so that you can check on your cargo while it’s at our warehouse. You’ll also have our drivers contact details through our client portal, so you’ll be able to check on your cargo at any stage of the transportation process.
We can provide a quote as soon as we have all the information needed to write one up. For instance, we’ll need to know what you need transported, the quantity and weight of the cargo, if there are any special handling requirements or additional extras needed (e.g., forklifts), the cargo’s destination, and more.
