Inland Transport
Full and part truckload movements, port and door delivery, rail where available, and multimodal legs connected to your ocean or air shipment.
Overview
Inland Transport with Link Cargo
The inland leg decides whether an on-time vessel becomes an on-time delivery. Link Cargo arranges truck and, where available, rail movements between ports, airports, warehouses and final delivery addresses.
Because the inland leg is planned alongside the main carriage, collection and delivery windows are aligned with free time at the terminal.
Why clients choose it
- Inland legs planned against terminal free time
- FTL and LTL options for varying volumes
- Coordinated with clearance to avoid standing charges
- Multimodal routing where it saves cost or time

Industries
Sectors that use this service most
Manufacturing
Production stops when a single inbound component is late, and inbound flows usually come from several suppliers and several countries at once.
Retail & E-Commerce
Seasonal peaks, tight margins and promised delivery dates leave no room for clearance delays or storage bottlenecks.
Food & Beverage
Perishable and shelf-life-sensitive goods face inspection requirements and cannot absorb port delays.
Construction & Heavy Equipment
Machinery and building materials are heavy, often out of gauge, and delivery must match the site programme.
