We can handle a diverse range of flatbed freight and take the role of LTL freight carriers to Full truck transportation services.

From the early days we saw that our customers needed assistance with international paperwork. Movement of paperwork through the regular mail was often too slow for many business opportunities.   

We discovered that we could use our volume discount with international and national courier companies to offer our customers a large discount for their courier needs. As our volume grew, so did our customer base.   

Due to our increasing volume we were able to negotiate more competitive discounts. Depending on your volume we can offer large discounts with a large international courier!

Shipping lines specialize in specific areas of the world that makes sense to their goals. Leave it to our knowledge base to determine which carriers will be of most use to you freight movement.  

Most ocean freight moves in containers; FCL (full container load) vs. LCL (less than container load). When your shipment is LCL, it gets sent to freight consolidators who combine freight going to the same destination.  

Ocean freight can be moved “Port to Port”, “Port to Door” or “Door to Door” (the easiest for the client). We have strategic alliances with a customs brokers, so we can offer a hassle-free door-to-door service.

The option of air freight makes it a valuable option for moving time sensitive shipments to almost anywhere in the world. This can be particularly advantageous for smaller and mid-sized companies as it allows them to participate in international trade in an expeditious and effective manner. Shipping by air also offers the advantage of a high level of security as airport controls over cargo are tightly managed.  

At Service First Logistics we know the critical importance of each shipment and how much it could mean to the daily operations of your business.
