Road and rail
Road and rail transport is the link between the warehouse and the port, the airport and the border gate. It carries almost any kind of cargo, runs frequently and prices flexibly.
However cheap the ocean rate is, a truck that misses the packing window still misses the vessel. Morning Logistics puts the right vehicle on the right cargo, tracks the run and reports progress, across all three regions.
Scope of work
We collect at the shipper’s warehouse, carry the cargo and deliver to the door on the schedule agreed, with a handover note at both ends.
Labour and lifting equipment arranged, with the cargo loaded in unloading order so nothing has to be shuffled at the delivery point.
Route survey, a movement permit for each individual run, and escort vehicles and cargo escorts when the piece is over the size or weight limit.
Packing, transport and reassembly of household goods and personal effects at the new home or office.
Transit cargo to Laos, Cambodia and China through the main border gates, including transit customs formalities.
Transport plus customs formalities for the outbound and the return leg, declared correctly as temporary import for re-export or temporary export for re-import.
Cargo held in the warehouse, split by order and delivered to each receiving point in your distribution network.
The North South line and international through services to China, Central Asia, Russia and Eastern Europe. It runs to the train timetable, so the weather does not come into it.
We establish the cargo type, the weight, the collection point and the delivery point, then pick the right vehicle.
Collection time fixed, with the driver’s details and the plate number sent through before the truck arrives.
The run is tracked, and we report back at the main milestones or as soon as anything goes wrong.
Delivered to the right point, the handover note signed, and the documents returned to you.

The right equipment, at the right time, at the right place. We pick the vehicle on the survey result rather than on the cheapest quote, and we report progress against milestones.
