From Here To There, Express Truck Shipping Is Everywhere!
Taking a page from Dr. Suess's Oh, the Places You Will Go!, you can get virtually anything to go anywhere in the world you want, including yourself. It is just a matter of what you want to go from here to there, or there to here. Here are a few express truck shipping options for larger items, in case you are trying to get something really big to come in from the coastlines.
Put the Shipping Container on the Back of a Truck
There are freight shippers that specialize in moving freight containers from ocean liners to your front door. It is rather convenient, since nothing has to be removed from the container and placed into a semi trailer instead. You do have to pay the company's usual freight charges, but it is worth it to avoid any shipping delays and to know that your stuff is on the back of a truck coming directly to you from the coast. You can also request that they put your freight containers on a train once a truck takes the container or containers as far as the truck can physically go.
Shipping Containers on a Train
Placing your freight container on a train moves your shipment even farther over the ground in areas where there are no roads. A truck can transport as far as roads will go in all directions, and then connect with a railroad with whom the trucking company does business. Thankfully, a truck can reach all the way to the southernmost tips of the country, as far north as Fairbanks, Alaska, and quite easily from coast to coast. The additional help from a train is just for areas where the truck cannot go.
Combo Solutions
When you want the absolute fastest express shipping solution, you can request that from the shipping company. They will calculate and orchestrate the fastest shipping route and options they can. Then they will share the fastest plans with you and the estimated costs so that you can decide what works best for you.
Maybe the truck brings the crate inland to a train junction, and then the train junction brings it four thousand miles to a helicopter pad, and then the helicopter airlifts the container to the next truck shipper. That is typical of a combo express shipping solution. For more information about long-haul trucking solutions to get your products coast to coast, contact companies like Armell Logistics.
