What is Considered Project or Oversize Cargo?
Project or Oversized Cargo is a specialized field of transportation that requires extensive, comprehensive experience handling cargo/freight that does not fit in standard-sized containers.
A few questions to help you determine if your shipment qualifies as Project Cargo:
- Is your shipment too large to fit inside a traditional shipping container?
- Are the dimensions wider, longer, or taller than usual shipments?
- Is the cargo overweight, unusually shaped, or does it require specialized equipment for handling and/or transport?
If you answered yes to any of these details, our Project Cargo team can provide a solution tailored to your specific requirements.
What information does our Project Cargo specialist require to quote?
In addition to information such as the origin, destination, dimensions, weight, and commodity; our Project Cargo team will need to know:
