International Ground Shipments
International ground shipping stands as one of the most sought-after transportation methods not only at Translive but also worldwide. Numerous advantages underscore the prominence of ground shipping, with priority being accorded to this method for years:
- Speed and Efficiency: Ground shipping ensures swift delivery of cargo to its destination within a short timeframe.
- Optimal and Competitive Rates: While air and sea shipping incur higher costs, they offer precision and speed. Accordingly, ground shipping offers an optimal balance between tariff, transit time, and flexibility.
- Safety and Support: Translive's ground shipments are insured for the full invoice value of the cargo (100%).
- Capacity: Ground trailers boast greater capacity (33 euro pallets, up to 21-25 tons) compared to containers (24 euro pallets, up to 28 tons). Therefore, when dealing with substantial volumes, opting for a trailer becomes more justified.
