freight operators
 

Hi Ladies & Gents

I don't normally visit this forum but i have been posed with a task. I am trying to establish contacts with freight operators in the UK, a client of mine despatches documentation and packages inc DAC from 5000kg upwards, but is not currently useing a freight operator he is using airline schedule flights at the moment.

Is there anyone out there that could help my client and I by providing information and contacts on freight operators, thier destinations, operating bases and minimum/maximum carraige inc costs.

Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

:ok:

Might it be easier to list the cities that you need the freight to go to/from? That would ease the task for us

My client wants to despatch to various cities and is unsure which until he is tasked to do a job, but so far he is looking at JNB & LAX. He especially needs to move 5000kg to LAX in the next few weeks.

I hope this helps?

A lot of airlines deal only with freight agents, so your best bet is to try them first.

Unless you have something special like outsized or DG it there is no point to stick with all-cargo carriers, because bellyhold rates to well-served destinations are normally lower than maindeck (that's the case especially with transatlantic)

Try here and have a look at the A-Z Directory Online (top left of the page).

Go to 'United Kingdom' and call up the Cargo Agents / Freight Forwarders page.

It's just a big long list I'm afraid but you'll be able to call several of them and get some competitive quotes.

Hope that helps
