Road freight forwarding
Domestic and international transport, LTL, FTL, pallet shipments and loads that require an individual choice of vehicle, route and timing.
Domestic and international freight forwarding for companies
We organise road, sea, air and rail transport. We match the solution to the load, route, timing, documents and loading conditions.
Freight forwarding
Freight forwarding means organising the whole transport process
Good freight forwarding is not just about finding a vehicle. In practice, the load, route, timing, documents, loading method, consignee requirements and real transport options all have to be checked.
ABCGF helps companies choose the right transport solution: road, sea, air, rail or combined. The aim is to match the transport process to the actual shipment, not to force every load into one standard model.

Scope
What freight forwarding can we organise?
Sea freight forwarding
Organisation of sea freight for full-container, groupage or individually assessed cargo.
Air freight forwarding
A solution for shipments where delivery time, urgency or a longer-distance route beyond standard road transport matters.
Rail freight forwarding
A possible option for rail or intermodal transport when cost, route stability or combining different transport modes is important for the load.
ADR
Organisation of dangerous goods transport after checking the ADR class, documents, packaging, markings and feasibility.
Combined transport
Selection of a solution that may combine road, sea, air, rail, warehousing, transhipment or further distribution.
Process
How do we work on a freight forwarding enquiry?
We analyse the load
We check the type of goods, weight, dimensions, packaging, timing, addresses and loading and unloading requirements.
We choose the transport mode
We assess whether road, sea, air, rail, intermodal transport or a combination of several options is the best solution.
We organise the execution
We agree the transport conditions, select the carrier, route, documents and handling method in line with the shipment parameters.
We coordinate the transport
We follow the arrangements, pass on operational information and help solve issues that may appear during the transport process.
When is freight forwarding useful?
Freight forwarding is particularly useful when the shipment does not fit a simple price list. This may apply to ADR goods, urgent transports, international shipments, non-standard cargo, larger consignments or movements requiring several transport stages.
- when different transport options need to be compared,
- when the load requires ADR or additional checking,
- when the transport is international and documentation matters,
- when road, sea, rail, air or warehousing need to be combined.

FAQ
Does ABCGF organise only road transport?
No. Road transport is an important part of our offer, but depending on the shipment we can also organise sea, air, rail or combined freight forwarding solutions.
Do you organise ADR transport?
Yes. We can organise ADR transport after checking the cargo class, documents, packaging, markings and feasibility on the required route.
When should I choose freight forwarding instead of a standard transport quote?
Freight forwarding is the right choice when the load, route, documents, timing or loading method require individual organisation and the right transport solution has to be selected.
Can freight forwarding be combined with warehousing?
Yes. If the goods need to be received, transhipped, stored, picked or prepared for dispatch, warehouse handling can be combined with further transport.
