Terminal to Terminal Transport
Logistics Term
What does terminal to terminal transport mean?
Terminal to terminal transport is moving loads from a storage facility to another one that’s close to the shipper. This mode of transport involves the shipper taking their goods to a storage facility where the carrier picks it on the date agreed. From there, the carrier takes it to a storage facility near the shipper. Terminal to terminal transport is affordable compared to door-to-door transport because the carrier doesn’t deliver the goods to the shipper’s doorstep or office.
Terminal to Terminal Transport - In The Field
Terminal to terminal transport is ideal for people living in congested cities or in areas with poor roads,, which would be hard for the carrier to maneuver or turn. Terminal to terminal transport on open trailers can take a long time because the carrier can’t leave the storage facility without a full trailer. That means they also have to drop off and pick up goods in different facilities. You can use the terminal to terminal transport services to ship luxurious, classic, or custom cars. In this case, the vehicle is carefully loaded on an enclosed trailer for protection from elements such as flying rocks and well secured for transport.
