Shipping & logistics coordination · Industrial equipment & machinery
Move oversized units without customs holds.
A 14-ton machine is ready to ship, the rigging crew needs three days' notice, and the export paperwork is still incomplete. The flatbed arrives before the permits.
The reality
Heavy freight is a coordination problem.
The unit is crated but nobody booked the crane, the oversize-load permits weren't pulled, and the export declaration is missing the Schedule B number — so it sits at the border. Demurrage and detention start accruing while the team trades emails between the freight broker, the rigging vendor, and the customer's site contact.
The operator owns the move. It books heavy-haul and rigging against the ship date, files the export documentation and AES declaration, confirms the site's offload window, and tracks the shipment so a missing permit becomes a flag, not a hold.
