The import and export of goods are integral parts of many types of businesses. All of this seems quite straightforward on the surface. Transporting cargo by road is a straightforward process – it involves moving goods from one location to another.

This is not the case, however. To transport cargo by road, road freight services are required. You need a freight forwarder who matches businesses with carriers and handles all the logistics.

But what does road freight mean? Throughout this article, we’ll look at the types of road freight, the methods forwarders use, and what the future holds for road freight.

What Is Road Freight And Why Use It?

Whether you are a small business or an international corporation, road freight is a crucial part of your business operation. Whenever the business grows, so do the cargo transportation services.

There can be a lot of confusion and time-consuming aspects to logistics and supply chain management for businesses. In this case, a freight forwarder like GenX Freight would be helpful.

The importance of road freight services cannot be overstated for any successful freight forwarder. Exactly why? In terms of cost-effectiveness and practicality, road freight is the most economical and practical way to ship goods. The best method if you’re moving items from the UK to another European country is probably road freight.

This solution may seem straightforward, but it has its challenges. Many freight forwarders make the mistake of neglecting the difficulties associated with road freight. Another company doesn’t listen to their clients. In both cases, GenX Freight does a great job.

What Types Of Road Freight Services Are There?

Depending on the transport type, there will be national and international road freight traffic. The next step is categorising your goods according to the type of vessel and service they require, as well as the type of goods you’re transporting.

General Goods Road Freight

All general merchandise that requires road transport falls under this category. As far as road freight is concerned, it does not require special equipment or specialised means of transportation.

Temperature Controlled Transportation

A special type of road freight service is required for items with a high degree of perishability. Your freight forwarder matches your cargo with a shipping company that specialises in these types of ships.

If you’re shipping frozen food such as fish and meat, you might need a refrigerated vehicle that can reach -20°C.

In the same way, items like dairy and fruits and vegetables may need refrigerated transport without freezing.

Oversized Goods Transportation

Oversized goods must often be transported with additional authorisation, which is one of the main challenges. Documentation and logistics planning are also part of that process for businesses.

The services we provide for road freight include managing these issues as well. Road freight services are particularly essential when transporting oversized materials in the steel, oil, energy, and chemical industries.

Methods Of Road Freight Services

Logistics for road freight can be divided into two main categories. There’s a dedicated service, which means the vehicle will carry your stuff exclusively.

Another is shared load, which is just what it sounds like. It is possible to share your vehicle with another client if you don’t have enough items to fill a dedicated one.

When it comes to personal cargo transport and smaller business needs, shared loads are naturally less expensive and more convenient.

What Is The Future Of Road Freight Services?

The topic of driverless vehicles often arises when discussing road freight. Even though technology and science haven’t quite reached that point yet, freight vehicles are becoming greener, smarter, and more efficient as a result of advances in science and technology.

The freight forwarding industry, including GenX Freight, must take into account all of the available sustainability models.

As of now, that means adhering to the Green Freight Europe Initiative. For road freight to prosper in the future, it must actively contribute to reducing air pollution levels and improving client service.

Safe And Timely Road Freight Services

When there is a need to move freight from one location to another, road freight is undoubtedly a cost-effective and simple option.

With GenX Freight, you get exceptional services, including handling all the paperwork and partnering with trusted carriers.

There’s always something new in freight forwarding, and only the best companies keep up. GenX Freight is excited about the future of road freight services.
