Road Freight

Road freight is a flexible and economical choice for your pallet collection and delivery. International businesses and individuals use road freight services to transport goods using various vehicles. Long-haul deliveries are transported by lorry, but small vans usually cover short distances. The type of vehicle also depends on the weight and volume of a shipment, and road freight offers a lot of flexibility in the type of goods you can send.

Sea Freight

Goods have been shipped across the oceans for hundreds of years and transporting valuable cargo by sea is easier today than it has ever been. With global trade growing, ships are getting bigger, and the circulation of containers and vessels continues to grow. At Global Cargo Direct, we navigate the changing times and manage the volatility of international markets with extensive analysis and industry insights.

Air Freight

With client demands increasing and international trade so competitive, businesses must find a way to ensure their clients get their goods exactly when they want them. Air freight is the perfect solution. Fast, secure, and affordable, our air freight services will get your products to market in the quickest time possible.

Pallets

Choose from a mini quarter pallet - up to 150kg - all the way to a full 1000kg pallet, with plenty of other options in between for pallet delivery including small, medium, large and oversized pallets. Plus, when you book a pallet courier with GCD, you get some of the cheapest quotes in the UK.

Trucking

FTL

If a shipment fills the entire truck space, this is a full load (FTL). We reserve the entire truck for your cargo, transporting your goods directly from the loading point to the final destination or chosen location.

LTL

Part loads, or less than truck loads (LTL), are goods transported in a quantity that only takes up part of the trailer. For LTL transport services, GCD provides a dedicated truck, with your goods consolidated, meaning you share the transport expenses with other consignees.

 

 

Containers

We tailor the shipment of your goods for maximum efficiency and speed. We work closely with leading shippers to ensure you have the necessary capacity in all trade lanes, and track it every step of the way.

For smaller freight shipments, we offer LCL services and a large number of high frequency, fixed departures to ensure your delivery deadlines are met. Our comprehensive consolidation capability means we can handle different shipment sizes and loads.
