Overview
Surface & LTL at a glance
Surface shipping is the default for non-urgent B2B moves—heavy cartons, pallets and truck freight where cost matters more than hours saved versus air.
Best when air premiums are unnecessary
Works with B2B parcel, PTL and FTL
Shows lane-level carrier choices
How surface fits multi-stop programmes
Distributors running weekly rotations to Mumbai, Delhi or Hyderabad can keep everything on surface while varying partners per leg.
Pair surface outbound with inbound vendor tracking to match purchase orders against LR milestones.
