Highway transportation advantage.

As we know, highway transportation is one of the famous mode of transportation. why? because it provide many advantage to their users. besides that, in Malaysia have many transportation company that provides highway transportation service.

one of this mode advantage is provide a door to door service. means, highway transportation like a truck or van, it can send our goods until in front of our house and it will make our works easier. that's means we don't need to waste our cost for the fuel to go take the goods that we order. it is not same like water or air transportation, they can't provide door to door service because water and air carrier need a port.

second is the accessibility. means, with truck, we can access into the place even the place is deep in the jungle. as long there have a road, this mode of transportation still can go through it. besides that, this mode of transportation price was not expensive like air and water carrier.

third, this type transportation is always available. why? because in  Malaysia, there are many company that provide this service. So, it will become always available, that's why this mode become one of the best mode that many people choose.besides that, highway transportation also one of the most flexible mode of transportation. why? because this mode is not same with others. we can choose whenever the time to delivery our goods.

our goods condition also can be take care because when we use highway transportation, the container will be seal and road condition is more smoother than sea waves, so, our goods condition can be take care properly and finally we can receive our goods in the same condition that we order.

Shipment Process by Vessel.

We as a carrier must be very expert in the shipment process from the first step until the last step. now, we would like to explain about all the shipment process.

the first step is, we will get the purchase order from our customer and we will know what are they want and how much the quantity of the goods that our customer want. after we get the purchase order, we must check the stock at the warehouse and if the stock is available, we can continue with doing a rate analysis and after that we can choose the most suitable carrier.

after we get the carrier, we must book the space for our container and then the carrier will give us the booking confirmation. after we get the space on the vessel, we must pick up the goods that our customer order. to do that, we must use the haulier to pick up the container at the depo and from the depo, the container will carried to our warehouse to load it with the goods. after it done, we must find the freight forwarder to settle all the business that relates to customs. when the customs approve, we can seal the container and we can send the container to the ports.

at the port, we will load the container into the vessel and then the carrier will ask us for the shipping instruction and they will give us 5 pieces of bill of lading, 2 for us and 3 more for our customer. after all of that settle, the carrier will transport our container to our customer port.
