In logistics, Door-to-Door (DTD) service refers to the movement of cargo from its point of origin (Shipper) to the destination (IE: Consignee), while generally remaining on the same piece of equipment and avoiding multiple transactions, transloading, and cross-docking. For movements of goods within a single country, Door-to-Door normally refers to a single movement of cargo on one mode of transport and without any interim storage. For international shipments, DTD normally refers to multiple movements, including a border crossing, while the cargo remains secure on one piece of equipment (trailer) until safely delivered at destination. By choosing our Door to Door transportation services, you can be sure that you’ve made the right decision.
