Transit shed operators

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Transit shed operators provide a transit handling service for airlines and sometimes forwarders. Their function is to receive cargo from the aircraft, de-palletise and deliver to truck or vice versa via a transit shed where customs clearance is required.  Specialized air trucking companies, like guaranteed air freight, provide road transport between the UK regions and the London airports, or continental airports, as well as intra-European services, where trucks substitute for aircraft, usually to a schedule. Most companies work on behalf of the airlines in servicing the forwarders requirements.  Express operators provide services for the movement of mail and small packages, where the timescales for transit are measured in hours by contrast to air forwarders whose service transit times are generally managed in days, like next day air freight.

Integrators

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

General sales agents sale next day air freight and second day air freight and are appointed by some airlines (both scheduled and charter) to sell air freight capacity on their behalf, thereby allowing the airlines to avoid the potentially high fixed costs of sales and marketing.

Integrators provide a door-to-door service, usually using their own road transport, handling, transit warehousing facilities and aircraft. Normally integrators contract directly with the shipper. They started principally as express operators, but are now competing more directly with freight forwarders and the airlines.

Why do they use freight class 60

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Common carriers, like UPS Freight, can use several methods to determine the price they charge ship an item for you. The most common is Freight Class. The National Motor Freight Traffic Association issues a publication called the “National Motor Freight Classification” or NMFC. This serves as the rule and guide to the trucking industry and is used to determine the “classification” of shipments. The price you pay to ship an item is directly tied to its stated freight classification.
Shipment density is calculated to determine how many pounds per cubic foot your item is. This tells the carrier how many other shipments will practically fit into a trailer with your shipment in order to fill a full trailer. Dense items such as Electric motor boxed, crated on pallet, which can be freight class 60, have a lower classification. The lower numbered classes are the least expensive to ship. Another factor that determines freight class is the item’s likelihood for damage. Household goods fall into shipping class 100 and receive a higher cost per 100 lbs to ship.
