Freight Services
Freight services focus on the movement of cargo across air, road, and cross-border networks. These services are designed for shipments that require speed, flexibility, dedicated capacity, or regional and international distribution. At Gandhi Shipping, freight services are structured to support different shipment sizes, timelines, and trade requirements with clear coordination and reliable execution.
Freight services can be used independently or combined with ocean shipping and logistics services as part of an integrated supply chain.
What Freight Services Cover
Freight transportation involves more than moving cargo from one point to another. It includes route planning, carrier coordination, documentation alignment, and timing control to ensure shipments reach their destinations as planned.
Our freight services support:
- Domestic and regional transportation
- Cross-border movement between countries
- Time-sensitive and priority shipments
- Dedicated and shared capacity options
- International trade and relocation shipments
Freight Services Offered
Our freight services include multiple transport modes and execution options to match different operational needs.
Each service is selected based on shipment size, urgency, cargo type, and destination.
Air Freight
Air freight is used for time-sensitive or high-value shipments that require faster transit times. It is commonly chosen when speed and reliability are critical.
Truckload (FTL)
Truckload freight involves dedicating an entire truck to a single shipment. It is suitable for large volumes, direct routes, and cargo that requires minimal handling.
Less Than Truckload (LTL)
LTL freight allows multiple shipments to share truck space. It is a cost-effective option for smaller shipments that do not require a full truck.
Drop Trailer
Drop trailer services allow trailers to be dropped at facilities for loading or unloading at the shipper’s pace, improving operational efficiency at warehouses and plants.
Expedited Freight
Expedited freight is designed for urgent shipments that must move faster than standard transit schedules to avoid production or delivery disruptions.
Cross-Border Freight
Cross-border freight supports shipments moving between countries by road or multimodal routes and requires additional documentation and customs coordination.
Common Challenges in Freight Transportation
Freight movement can be affected by:
- Capacity shortages
- Transit delays
- Documentation errors
- Regulatory requirements
- Cost fluctuations
Understanding these challenges helps businesses choose the right freight option and plan shipments more effectively.
