Connecting Carrier

Unlike traditional carriers that handle the physical transportation of goods, connecting carriers don’t own trucks, ships, or airplanes. Instead, they act as intermediaries, connecting shippers with the most suitable carriers for each leg of a multi-modal journey.

Connecting carriers understand the strengths and limitations of different transportation modes (truck, rail, air, ocean). They leverage this knowledge to design efficient and cost-effective routes for your shipment, ensuring a seamless handover between carriers throughout the journey.
