Services Highlight: Door-to-door Shipping. What is it?

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.

How do customers benefit?

  • Single Transaction
    • Door-to-Door service is generally associated with a single transaction in which the logistics provider assumes responsibility for the cargo during the entire journey
  • Save Time
    • Door-to-Door service streamlines the process for the customer, provides a single point of contact, and allows customers to focus on other aspects of their business, leaving the many stages of logistics to the professionals
  • Avoid Damage and Freight Claims
    • Door-to-Door service avoids Transloading and Cross-Docking, eliminating the need to move cargo from one trailer to another, reducing the possibility of cargo damage and claims
