Cross Border Canada, Mexico

Shipping goods across the US-Canada and US-Mexico borders can be a complex and time-consuming process. There are a number of rules and regulations that must be followed, and failure to do so can result in delays, additional charges, or even seizure of the shipment. However, by partnering with a freight shipping company like Advantage Global Logistics, businesses can overcome these challenges and ensure that their shipments arrive on time and without incident. The first step in shipping goods across the border from the US to Canada or Mexico is to obtain the necessary documentation. This includes a commercial invoice, bill of lading, and shipper's export declaration. Once all of the documentation has been obtained, businesses must then complete a customs declaration form. This form must be completed in English, French, or Spanish depending on the destination and must include information such as the mode of transport (e.g., air, land, or sea), the port of entry or exit, the value of the goods being shipped, the purpose of the shipment (e.g., commercial or personal), and whether or not there are any dutiable items included in the shipment. Businesses should also be prepared to provide supporting documentation such as packing lists. This…

Less than Truckload LTL

If you're looking for a freight shipping company, you may have come across the term "LTL." But what does LTL shipping mean? LTL shipping stands for "less than truckload" shipping. As the name implies, LTL shipping is a type of shipping in which your shipment occupies less than an entire truck. This is in contrast to full truckload (FTL) shipping, in which your shipment occupies an entire truck. In less-than-truckload shipping, businesses can ship smaller loads of product at a lower cost than if they were to ship via full truckload. Full truckload shipping requires businesses to fill an entire trailer with their products, whereas with LTL shipping, businesses only need to fill part of the trailer. This space is then filled by other businesses that are also using the LTL shipping service. There are advantages to LTL shipping. First, it's less expensive than FTL shipping because you're only paying for the space that your shipment occupies on the truck. Second, LTL shipping is more flexible than FTL shipping because you can ship smaller quantities of goods more frequently. When you don’t have enough to fill an entire truck, we can find the less-than-truckload (LTL) solution that is right for…

Truckload Van

Truckload van shipping is a type of freight shipping that involves the transportation of goods using a large trailer ranging from 48 to 53 feet in length. This type of shipping is often used for large shipments that cannot be broken down into smaller shipments and are too large to be shipped via UPS or FedEx. One of the advantages of using a truckload van is that it allows you to ship your items in one shipment, which can save you money on shipping costs. This type of service is ideal for businesses that need to ship large items but do not have the time or resources to do so themselves. Another advantage of truckload freight shipping is that delivery times are generally faster than other options like LTL. This is because truckload shipments are often transported directly to their target destination. Further, shipments transported by truckload shipping have less chance of damage during transit since they are handled less than LTL. Whether you require a single tractor-trailer or a fleet of equipment to support a drop-and-hook operation, we’ve got you covered for the short or long haul. We serve all of the major gateways and provide through-trailer service to…
