Carrier or forwarder

Increasingly, manufacturers began to face the problem of choosing a contractor for transportation of their products. Thus, the freight market nowadays oversupplied transport services, seeming at first sight absolutely identical. In general, companies that provide transportation services, can be divided into these categories:
– Transport companies, which for freight use their vehicles – just carriers;
– Forwarding companies, whose services are to provide high-quality service through the use of hired cargo transport;
– Forwarding companies, which are a hybrid of the two previous categories. Such enterprises have in their management as a personal vehicle fleet and transport partners with whom over the years are turned a close business relationship.
Naturally, if the transport company is bad, and forwarding – good, the choice is given to freight forwarding and exactly the opposite. But if we approach the issue of selecting a company providing trucking services, more specifically, it may turn out subtle moments earlier. Let us examine this issue in more detail.

Thus, the transport company – is transport companies owning personal rolling stock and bring him to cargo. Typically, these organizations have accumulated a list of routes (this fact is associated primarily with a permit issued by the Association of International Road Transport AsMAP and non-disabled) and a well-defined set of vehicles. Carriers – people business; they are usually well aware of the fees and other terms of its direction, and, rest assured, will be able to make enough financially advantageous offer. But then do not forget about the second side of the coin. Carriers tend to do what is beneficial to them. Among several proposals on the same route, they, of course, will choose the cash, and to stand for several days, waiting for the readiness of the shipment, the car will be unlikely. In general, subject to the addition of all the puzzles to work with the carrier sufficiently profitable, but only until such time as it is beneficial to him. In addition, the transport company provides services only transportation, and deal with issues of storage, handling and customs clearance will have the cargo directly.

Forwarding companies are represented at the present freight market broadly. These companies are positioning themselves to be reliable counterparties are constantly interacting with a large number of carriers. For the cost of freight forwarder carrier attaches his commission – fee for services rendered. Many mistaken in thinking that the price of the freight forwarder is much higher freights carriers. Bids for freight carriers, which carried out a long successful partnership where below the real market, therefore, as a rule, the cargo does not feel any damage, cooperating with the forwarder as forwarding fee often even lower given discounts and rebates. Unfortunately, in recent years the professionals in this field is becoming less and wanting to amass easy money – more and more. Frequent theft of goods and bitter misunderstanding in the shipping process or customs clearance.
