Frequently asked questions about Direct Loads with Cargoboard
What is the difference between the shipping methods Groupage Freight & Direct Loads?
The main difference is that in case of a Direct Load, the shipped goods are transported directly to their destination without transshipment. When choosing groupage freight, on the other hand, goods are collected in a certain region, bundled at a central location, transshipped and transported to the region of destination. After arrival in the region of destination, the goods are transshipped again and transported to the final delivery location.
Are special trips with same-day pickup possible?
Special trips with same-day pickup are available upon request. Please send your request to dispo@cargoboard.com including loading and unloading point, exact dimensions and weight of the shipment.
