FREIGHT

As a highly experienced and well positioned Freight Forwarding Service, Logistics and Procurement (Product Sourcing) Company, we can offer customised packages, either as a standalone freight option or as part of the Procurement Service.

Using our group company – ACM Freight an approved network of Freight Forwarders, Airlines and Shipping Lines, Procurit Solutions can work with the Customer and Supplier to organise the best freight options (port of loading, port of discharge, import and export procedures), including Customs Inspections, and all government ministries.

How does this benefit you; it means that we take on all the responsibilities for organising and communication with the suppliers and freight providers, which can take up a lot of your time, tying you up with red tape, bureaucracy, and administration.

We take away the headaches and potential roadblocks, providing solutions to make sure of a smooth, trouble-free project. Financially and quality benefits are numerous but suffice to say that you will only receive Invoices and Reports, from one company, (Procurit Solutions). Using just us, also allows a smooth process for insurance, covering the complete freight and cargo value from origin and up to 30 days at destination warehouse. This is covered under 1 (one) policy, in your name. Using multiple providers, will lead to higher costs, due to the numerous insurance policies needed, plus the inspections required by insurance providers to carry our condition surveys.

We provide our customers with all the traditional and contemporary freight transportation services. With a global network of shipping partners, we enable our clients to export and import goods across global destinations. Our quality and reliability allows us to meet our clients expectations and helps in building a strong professional relationship with them

Like FCL and LCL in sea freight shipping, there are 2 modes offered in Road Freight


LTL – Less-Than Truckload

FTL – Full Truck Load

LTL versus FTL

Let us say you have a shipment that needs to go from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England to Southampton, England. If it is a large shipment and need to use FTL, it will be picked up at your location and then driven directly to the target location. There will be no detours or loading/unloading stops in between. You will be required to pay for the total capacity of the truck/trailer. 

If you have a smaller shipment that is shipped using LTL, you will only pay for the space your cargo occupies on the vehicle. After collecting your shipment, it will be taken to a consolidation centre. Where it will be transferred to a vehicle, which will have a mixture of your cargo and other shippers’ cargo.

Because LTL freight shipping combines shipments from different companies, it has more stops along the route and therefore can take longer to arrive than an FTL shipment. This also means that a shipment might arrive on a later date than the estimated delivery date.

The cost of LTL shipping is generally cheaper because you’re only paying for your portion of the trailer. Different trucking carriers offer many different services at sometime hugely different rates. This is where we come in to ensure you only pay for the most economic service.

LTL freight is most commonly packaged onto pallets, which determines how much space you are using. You also pay different prices depending on your freight class. Your freight class is determined based on various factors such as: 

  • Density – How much your freight weighs in comparison to its size. Higher density freight usually equates to a lower freight class. 
  • Liability – The freight’s potential for damage to itself or other freight on board; also its perishability. A higher liability equates to a higher freight class. 
  • Handling – How easy is it to move this freight around? Does it require special loading or handling? Harder to handle freight equates to a higher freight class. 
  • Stow-ability – How the load fits into the trailer. Can the cargo be stacked or turned on its side? The easier it is to stow your freight, the lower the freight class. 

We make sure that the carrier we select for you has the necessary equipment to deliver your shipment correctly. For example, if you require a liftgate to offload your freight.

Some of the vehicle types we can arrange for you are:

Side Loader

Side Loader trailers are essentially a crane on a flat bed trailer.   This set-up offers convenience, speed and versatility especially in circumstances where a 2nd piece of equipment is not available or space is an issue. 

Curtain Side

The curtain side trailers combine the advantages of a flatbed with the covering and containment benefits of an enclosed trailer. Consisting of durable yet flexible PVC-coated vinyl side curtains which can be retracted from either the front or rear of the trailer, and van-style swinging rear doors, a curtain side totally encloses the load for weatherproof protection and security.

Flat Bed

Trailers used to transport loose cargo and 20/40 ft containers, can be fitted with side bars, grilles, railings or solid sidings.

Half Box

Open top trailers with side grills that require a bit of extra stability and height clearance


Car Carrier

The enclosed multi car carrier has a major advantage of moving multiple cars protected from the element of weather. 

Low Bed

For large load moves that may have height or width restrictions 

Custom Clearance

Conforming to the rules and regulations imposed by concerned authorities in different countries, dealing with the arrangement of documents, fulfilling the formalities etc. are hectic tasks which may get messy and sometimes consume  a major chunk of your working hours. Procurit Solutions experts having knowledge and experience in dealing with all the custom rules and regulations, especially in the UAE provides the solutions for fulfilling these obligations,  making Customs Clearance processes run smoothly without having to bother you too much.
