Container Freight Station Services By Licensed Professionals

Container freight station also known as a container terminal is a port facility where containers are loaded and unloaded to and from ships.     Transportation companies have terminals at ports to help their clients with express transportation. When a client’s shipment comes into port via a freighter ship, the trucks from the trucking company come to unload the cargo to the trucks and drive it on the highway to the destination or to the rail terminal for the onward destination.

Some transporters specialize in certain kind of freight, so when making a transporter choice, ensure that the company is licensed to handle your cargo. For some types of freight specific equipment, and insurance is required.  Some trucking companies only haul food and perishables while other sonly carry chemicals and pesticides.  Another thing you will have to keep in mind is that some type of freight cannot be shipped together with other types of freight. If the truck is transporting hazardous materials, your food cargo cannot be loaded with the same.

Companies with large fleets often dedicate trucks for specific load types.  Special license is required to handle special shipment. The law has stringent rules and a trucking company that does not abide by the law faces heavy fines. Make sure the trucking company is licensed to move your type of cargo.
