On Board Courier

At AsstrA, we offer logistics services for companies of all types and sizes, including not only large enterprises but also individual traders. That’s why groupage cargo transport is among the most popular and highly-demanded offerings.

LTL groupage services presuppose the organization of transportation of any volumes of goods that will be delivered together with goods of other clients. They may have another end recipient but should be delivered to the same or close destination. In other words, consolidated freight shipping allows combining small cargoes from different clients on one vehicle in order to avoid unnecessary expenses on transportation. The reduction of transport costs is ensured thanks to efficient usage of heavy lift cargo vehicle space. Before developing a route, our specialists always attentively consider all client’s requirements and desired terms of delivery.

Our partner network includes only the most trustworthy logistics companies, railway and warehouse operators. Thanks to that regardless of the complexity of your delivery, its destination, peculiarities of your goods and other influencing factors, we will be able to ensure 100% timely and safe shipping.

More information

  • CARGO TYPES CARGO TYPES

    Depending on the size of your cargo, you can often ship it via partial loads and combined freight transportation. With AsstrA, you can ship it quickly with other senders’ cargo as part of a consolidated load.

    The following cargo types may be combined in these loads:

    • Foodstuff;
    • Chemical substances;
    • Pharmaceutical supplies;
    • Equipment and repair parts;
    • Domestic products;
    • Household appliances and electronics;
    • High-value items and hazardous goods;
    • Various machinery and spare car parts;
    • Shoes and clothes.

    There are, however, certain types of goods that cannot be shipped as groupage cargo. These types include toxic ADR1 materials or any of the six sub-types thereof, quick-rotting products, and out-of-gauge loads. This prohibition exists to protect the safety of other goods that could be put at risk by the dangerous goods.

    Also, partial loads transportation is a poor choice for small cargo exported from the CIS. For such products, AsstrA provides quick road transportation.

    Our team of professionals works hard to offer the fastest delivery times and most competitive service fees. We pay attention to a variety of factors including cargo type and size, shipping deadlines, storage options, the specific points of loading and unloading, and customs/documentation requirements.

  • CARGO CONSOLIDATION WITH ASSTRA CARGO CONSOLIDATION WITH ASSTRA

    To provide each client with efficient service, AsstrA offers a comprehensive array of transportation and logistics options, including the ability to conjoin multiple customers’ orders into a single lot so as to optimize delivery times.

    Before transportation, AsstrA clients’ cargo is kept in a clean and secure warehouse that meets all applicable safety requirements. It is equipped with modern, purpose-designed mechanisms that are used for loading and unloading containers and specialized cells for the safe storage of small loads.

    Before storing cargo at the warehouse, the AsstrA team ensures that it has safe and robust packing that complies with the requirements described in the appropriate regulations.

    Later, our team of professionals completes all the required documents. After all the loads necessary to create a groupage transport have reached in the warehouse, the team organizes the quickest possible delivery choosing appropriate means of transportation, i.e. via truck, ship, railcar, or aircraft. The average unloading time is one week.

    The main advantages of cargo consolidation are:

    • unified transport documentation;
    • optimized transportation costs split among multiple shippers;
    • reduced risk of customs registration complications.

    Freight consolidation is an ideal option for shippers trying to save space and money.

  • TYPES OF TRANSPORT TYPES OF TRANSPORT

    Truck transportation is a cost-effective option for groupage cargo involving low volumes or off-size goods. Flexibility is obviously the main advantage: road vehicles may operate when necessary without regard to rail, sea, and air freight schedules. Groupage transport for small cargo volumes has a range of other advantages, including the ability to combine cargo with that of several other shippers, support for fragile cargo, and the ability to enforce specific temperature regimes. AsstrA also provides the opportunity to store cargo at our partners’ warehouses in the CIS and several European countries like Germany, Italy, Lithuania, etc.

    Combined freight transportation by sea is the most effective option for long-haul deliveries. It offers a range of advantages including the ability to partially fill containers, transport dry goods, take additional container security precautions, reorganize cargo at ports, and follow simplified customs registration procedures in Europe and the CIS.

    Train transportation is also a good option for long-haul partial loads deliveries between Europe and the CIS. Trains follow a fixed timetable, so the chance of delays is minimal and our clients can count on receiving their orders on time. Except for express deliveries, AsstrA also provides clients with the ability to transport practically any type of cargo using specialized containers, carriages, and platforms.

    Air cargo shipping is the fastest transportation mode with several benefits. The enormous capacity of cargo planes allows cost savings when several companies’ goods are shipped together. Any international airport can serve as a destination. It is possible to arrange subsequent flights, all-inclusive cargo maintenance at airports, and subsequent cargo transportation directly to the recipient’s warehouse.

    AsstrA professionals consider all consolidation requirements based on the unique characteristics of a given type of cargo. We work with reliable air, road, sea, and rail transport carriers in order to provide our clients with the most efficient schemes.
