How StoringCargo helps find transporter a reload / preload warehouse

Countless times it happens that transport companies and freight forwarders need to tranship cargo. But why is this so?

What does transshipment of cargo mean?

When traveling, many would find that opting for a connecting flight — where passengers make a stop en route to their final destination — often comes with a lower price tag, compared to a non-stop flight. The same goes for cargo.

Transshipment/reload/preload is the process of transferring a shipment from one mode of transportation to another. It is most commonly used when one mode of transportation cannot be used for the entire trip. Cargo reload is mostly used by transport companies and freight forwarders.

Since transshipment requires handling of the cargo, it causes a higher risk of damage. Therefore, transshipment facilities are designed with the intent of minimizing handling. Due to the differing capacities of the different modes, the facilities typically require some storage facility, such as warehouses.

When do you need to transship cargo?

The number of cases where you need transshipment of cargo is constantly increasing. Let’s take a look at the 5 most common instances when you decide you need to transship cargo 👇:

1. If the driver needs to optimize the transport route, as it collects orders in a region that has a similar delivery location and drives most of the route as an FTL. Read more about FTL here.
2. If the driver has to load a new cargo and the old load is transferred directly to another truck.
3. If it is necessary to move the goods from the front of the truck to the rear or inversely.
4. If the cargo needs to be transferred to a warehouse where it is stored for some time then another truck picks it up, loads it, and takes it to the final destination.
5. In the event of an accident that happens to a truck (a flat tire), accidents on the road, and anything that prolongs the journey to the final destination.
