Overview
Road is the connective tissue of maritime logistics. We arrange trucks and vans sized for spares, packages, and project pieces—timed to cut-offs and port gates.
Road transportation closes the gaps that ships and planes cannot: supplier to airport, airport to port, warehouse to berth staging, and cross-border legs where trucking is the sensible mode.
MarineCaddie books vehicles against cargo profile and gate reality—timing matters as much as price when a terminal cut-off or launch slot is fixed.
We keep road moves inside the same operational thread as the parent air or ocean job whenever possible, so drivers are not briefed from a separate, stale email chain.
For oversize or restricted cargo, we confirm permits and escort needs before wheels turn.
Trucking for maritime cargo fails most often on access: wrong gate, missing booking slot, or a vehicle that cannot enter the terminal. We confirm those constraints with the same seriousness as the freight rate.
When road is a middle leg, the driver brief includes the upstream AWB/BL references and the downstream contact—so the cargo identity survives the handoff.
