We are able to handle everything from less than trailer loads to project cargo at CombiTrans. Our experience is invaluable when dealing with non-standard cargoes. As an air freight company we can accept your cargo up to 5PM on the day before departure, giving you a great deal of flexibility. CombiTrans is committed to being your single source freight solution and can help you arrange for the trucking necessary to move your cargo from your facilities to the port or airport. In addition to these transportation logistics services we add warehousing, such as temporary storage and even repacking and combining contents of containers trucked in from separate facilities.
Many people are unsure of the advantages of dealing with a freight forwarding company instead of directly with ship owners. CombiTrans actually offers our customers several benefits. We have weekly scheduled deliveries to maintain and we are not limited by the size of our fleet. Adding to our schedule does not require financing additional ships. Export freight forwarding offers the advantage of working with many ships and ship owners, so we are able to add shipments by merely making additional agreements. We currently offer weekly ocean shipments to 20 countries and have over 40 cities on our regular air freight schedule. Another advantage of our company's business model is that it allows us to focus on developing more services for our customers instead of maintaining a fleet. We are able to offer warehousing and transportation logistics services to our customers. CombiTrans is also able to focus on our customer service and offer customs house broker style assistance in many cases.
CombiTrans began operations in 1998 as an ocean freight service specializing in Central American destinations. Since then, our operations have expanded to cover South America and the Caribbean as well. We are an export freight forwarding company, meaning that we do not actually own or operate vessels. We arrange for passage of cargo with the operators. However, because of several factors, including the fact that we arrange for our scheduled voyages in advance, we are given better pricing that we can pass along to our clients. We have also become an air freight company since our inception. It is our goal to become your single source solution for international freight shipping.
