The types of vehicles used in road freight can vary depending on the type of cargo being transported.
The weight and size limitations for road freight can vary by country and region. In the United States, for example, the maximum weight allowed on most federal highways is 80,000 pounds
Regulations governing road freight can also vary by country and region. In the United States, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is responsible for regulating commercial motor vehicle operations, including safety requirements for drivers, vehicles, and carriers. Other countries may have their own regulatory agencies or follow international standards such as those set by the International Road Transport Union (IRU).
The cost of road freight can be influenced by various factors such as distance, weight and size of the cargo, fuel costs, tolls, taxes, and any additional services required such as loading or unloading. Additionally, market demand and supply can affect pricing
At Sitorex, we help you reduce shipping costs by combining multiple packages into a single shipment.
So, before the packages are consolidated in one container shipment, we collect them. The packages collection usually takes 4 to 5 weeks. Therefore, when your package is collected, it does not necessary mean that it will be loaded in a container the following week. It is only when we have collected enough packages that the container will be loaded.
Once, the container is loaded, it is transported to the port for a waiting period that lasts 7-10 days During the waiting period, the office of US Customs & Border Protection, can, at its discretion, select any question for inspection.
Please understand that, once we have loaded a container and returned it to the port, we have no control over the departure and arrival of the vessel.
Whether you're buying from different suppliers or sending items to the same destination, our Consolidation Shipping service ensures everything arrives together—safely, efficiently, and affordably.
