Nova Poshta Global takes over international transport stages when concluding a freight agreement.

Road freight: international transport features

Road freight is the rental of one or more trucks for the delivery of cargo on pallets or in containers. The advantage of this service is the ability to select the desired vehicle:

• a trailer;

• a van;

• temperature-controlled truck, etc.

One of the drawbacks is that the long distance delivery takes a considerable amount of time, so when crossing the border the downtime is possible. However, the affordable price of the service for some customers compensates for this shortcoming.

The agreement defines the conditions for road freight transportation:

• weight and type of the cargo;

• place and time of loading;

• type of vehicles;

• destination, unloading address;

• delivery date;

• payment procedure.

These conditions shall be observed by the parties. If they are violated, the aggrieved party receives compensation.

Air freight: transportation features

To deliver a container from China, India, the USA and other remote countries by car, you need to wait several months. The companies don’t always have time to wait.

Air freight allows you to quickly deliver and receive express shipments from Ukraine abroad and to Ukraine from 30 countries of the world. As well as road freight, air cargo involves the signing of an agreement between the parties. All conditions, including force majeure, for example, due to seasonal or weather restrictions are indicated in the agreement.

Air freight pros:

• flights logistics according to individual preferences and route;

• cargo transportation is possible to any place in the world;

• delivery in a short time, which is important when transporting fragile and perishable goods, animals, and plants;

• high speed and security level;

However, air freight transportation has a disadvantage which is a high cost. But all the advantages outweigh this drawback.

• means of transport

• distance;

• cargo type and volume;

• insurance amount;

• delivery terms;

• additional services — loading, packaging, support.
