What is Ground Freight?

Ground freight refers to the transportation of goods by road or rail using trucks, trailers, and intermodal solutions. It is an affordable and efficient method for moving cargo across the UAE and other regions. Whether you’re shipping full truckloads or smaller quantities, ground freight offers flexible and reliable options for businesses of all sizes.

Ground transportation is essential for supply chain logistics, ensuring that goods are delivered quickly and safely. It’s particularly suited for industries requiring frequent shipments, including retail, manufacturing, construction, and e-commerce. With a vast network of carriers and advanced tracking technology, ground freight guarantees on-time deliveries while optimizing shipping costs.

Our Ground Freight Services

At RAM International Shipping, we provide a comprehensive range of ground freight services tailored to your specific shipping needs. Our services include:

Full Truckload (FTL)

FTL shipping is ideal for businesses that require an entire truck for their shipment. This service guarantees faster transit times, minimal handling, and higher security for your cargo. It is well-suited for large shipments, high-value goods, and urgent deliveries.

Less-than-Truckload (LTL)

LTL shipping is a cost-effective solution for smaller shipments that do not require a full truck. By consolidating multiple shipments into one truck, we help businesses save on transportation costs while maintaining timely deliveries. Our LTL services offer flexible scheduling, real-time tracking, and damage protection.

LTL & FTL Cross-Border

Cross-border ground freight between the UAE and neighboring countries such as Oman, Saudi Arabia, and others requires expertise in customs clearance and regulatory compliance. We handle all necessary documentation and ensure smooth transportation across borders, whether you need LTL or FTL shipping.

Intermodal Transportation

Intermodal transportation combines road and rail services to optimize shipping efficiency. This service is particularly useful for long-distance shipments, offering cost reductions and lower carbon emissions while maintaining reliability. We manage seamless transitions between transportation modes for an uninterrupted shipping experience.
