Common Carrier or Freight Forwarder: Which is Better for You?
You’ve got dozens of options to get your freight from Point A to Point B. What type of company makes the most sense? Common Carrier or Freight Forwarder?
Fact: Every common carrier has a different niche.
Some want a specific lane segment or certain sized cargo. Some charge on strict NMFC classification, others tiered. Some have longer published transit times. Some even have penalties for certain kinds of cargo. Not that they’re bad, they are just trying to slice the market to haul only the specific characteristics of cargo they want!
HUIN International Logistics, on the other hand, is all about flexibility and keeping it simple for our clients. One email and it’s done.
Our goal is to take the time and risk out of the equation. We do all the legwork to get your cargo safely delivered by your deadline, at a fair price, without damage. You’ll usually get a quote within 15 minutes, often sooner. We can even send you automatic status updates along the way – with a POD when the freight is delivered!
Additionally, we move a great deal of our truck cargo on our internal network. Often without hub transfers, it achieves faster deliveries and on-time certainty with less handling. It’s perfect for most white glove or critical delivery dates & times. It’s the faster, safer middle ground between air cargo and the typical common carrier.
