Land Transport

Cross-Border Ground Transport – Reliable & Tracked

Land transport forms a vital part of our shipping network, facilitating the movement of packages within the US and connecting to air and sea ports for international shipments. We utilize various modes of land transport to ensure efficient and reliable delivery.

Key Modes of Land Transport We Utilize:

  • Road Freight (Trucking): This is the most common form of land transport for goods. We utilize a network of trucks of various sizes to handle diverse shipments, from small parcels to large freight. Road transport offers flexibility in terms of pickup and delivery locations, making it ideal for door-to-door service within the US.
    • Vans and Smaller Trucks: Used for local deliveries and smaller packages, offering agility and accessibility in urban and rural areas.
    • Larger Trucks and Lorries: Employed for transporting heavier and bulkier goods over longer distances within the country.
  • Motorcycle/Bike Couriers: For rapid, local deliveries, especially within cities like Brooklyn, Houston, Sacramento, motorcycle or bike couriers provide a quick and efficient solution for documents and small packages, navigating traffic congestion effectively.
  • Rail Freight: Where available and suitable for the type and volume of goods, we may utilize rail freight for long-haul domestic transportation. Rail transport is often cost-effective for large volumes and can be more environmentally friendly than road transport for certain types of cargo. 

Benefits of Land Transport with Critter & Cargo Logistics :

  • Door-to-Door Service: Road transport allows for convenient pickup directly from the sender’s location and delivery right to the recipient’s doorstep within our service area.
  • Flexibility and Accessibility: Trucks and vans can reach a wide range of locations, including those not easily accessible by air or sea.
  • Cost-Effective for Regional and Domestic Shipping: For shipments within the US, land transport is often the most economical option.
  • Integration with Other Modes: Land transport plays a crucial role in the overall logistics chain, connecting shipments to airports for air transport and seaports for ocean freight. For instance, a package being shipped internationally from the US will likely be transported by truck to an airport for its onward journey.
  • Suitable for a Wide Range of Goods: From documents and small parcels to large and heavy freight, various types of land transport can accommodate diverse shipping needs.

  • Vehicle Maintenance: We ensure that the vehicles used in our network are well-maintained to minimize breakdowns and delays.
