Request a quote
Give us the lane: origin, destination, container type and the date you need it. We work it out and come back with a price you can use.
Tell us about the trip
Fill in what you know. Origin, destination, container type and your contact details are the minimum we need; the rest lets us price it more sharply.
Thank you, your quote request has been sent. We'll be back with a price shortly.

WHAT TO SEND
What makes a quote go faster.
The more complete the request, the faster the price. This is what the planner pulls up before working out a rate.
- Origin and destination Ideally with a postal code or a terminal name. An address in a city center prices differently than an industrial estate off the motorway.
- Container type and how many A 20ft, a 40ft, a high cube and a reefer each need a different chassis. If several containers are moving, we combine them where we can.
- The weight of the cargo The gross weight decides whether a standard combination can take the trip or whether heavier equipment comes into it.
- The date you want And whether the receiver holds a fixed loading or unloading window. Say it up front: it decides how we schedule the trip.
- ADR or not For dangerous goods we want the UN number, the class and the packing group. The full list is in our ADR checklist.
- For a reefer: the temperature The setpoint, and whether the container has to keep running on the genset during the trip.
- Roundtrip or one-way Does the empty container go back to the depot the shipping line designates, or does it stay? That changes the trip, and so the price.
- The awkward details An unloading point without a forklift, little turning space, expected waiting time or a terminal with its own slot system: better up front than on the road.
THE PRICE
What a price is built on.
We price per lane, not off a standard list laid over everything. Distance and driving time are the base. On top of that comes what makes this one trip its own: the container type, the weight, the waiting time expected at the terminal and whether the empty has to go back to the depot.
Surcharges get named up front, not afterwards on the invoice. ADR, a reefer that keeps running on the genset, a second loading address, a trip outside office hours: if it moves the price, it is in the quote. The same goes for the Dutch truck toll and the German Maut.
We are a carrier, not a forwarder and not a customs agent. A quote from us covers the road leg and the CMR that goes with it. Customs documents such as the T1 we coordinate with your forwarder or customs agent; the responsibility for those stays with you.
AFTER THE REQUEST
From request to trip.
-
The planner pulls up the lane
Your request lands on the planning desk. They look at the lane, the container type and the date, and find the combination that fits.
-
You get a price
By email, with the surcharges alongside it, so you know what you are comparing. If something is missing and we cannot calculate, we call.
-
Agreed? Then the trip is booked
Once you agree, the order goes into the planning and we watch release, cut-off and free time. We issue the CMR for the road leg.
