We also have the ability to assess these costs internationally at the destinations our clients intend to ship to. If you are shipping to a new destination and are unfamiliar with that countries import and export regulations leave it to us! We have a network of other agents around the globe that will help our customers ensure their shipment is within compliance at the destination. Customs is a very important aspect of shipping operations but one that we can handle completely for our customers.

Maximum Freight is a licensed NVOCC freight forwarder

If you're unfamiliar with the term it simply means we are Non Vessel Operating Common Carrier, which means we don't actually own or operate any vessels, ships, or planes (we do have some of our own trucks though). What does this mean for our customers and why is this a benefit? Freight Forwarders utilize a network of vessels, truckers, air carriers, and other modes of transportation carriers to move freight and goods around the world. That means we have a vast ability to move all types of freight in all types of modes. It also means for the customer that they won't have to reach out to several carriers and managing many different vendors for their one shipment. At Maximum Freight we have strong carrier relationships and are familiar with which service is best depending on the customer's needs. Further to this our experience in working and business contracts with several carriers makes us efficient in reaching out to the right parties for the job.

WHY CHOOSE MAXIMUM FREIGHT?

How much will it cost to ship? How do I handle customs? How long will my shipment take? There are many questions and 'what ifs' that come with international and domestic shipping. There are many details to importing and exporting and at times it can seem overwhelming.

At Maximum Freight, the mission is simple: Make the process of shipping as easy as possible for the customer. We believe in educating the customer on each step of the shipping process, but at the same time only requiring the least time and effort on their part to get things done right. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service with a one-on-one approach. We don't believe in voice-prompts when people call in on the phone (we don't have any) or automated e-mail responses. At Maximum Freight each customer and shipment are appointed individual shipping experts to guide you along the way from start to finish.
