The market for international cargo transportation, presented on the Internet, is full of offers from transport companies from Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and other countries. How to make the right choice of the contractor of transport operations? Whom to give preference to from dozens of offers for cargo transportation services? And most importantly: how to correctly and quickly order the most optimal, efficient, inexpensive transportation of goods, find transport for various types of cargo in the most popular directions? These are pressing issues that cargo owners from Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and other countries face daily, and in order to make the right choice, let’s talk about some details and features of international cargo transportation in the Euro-Asian region.

The strategic freight market for the countries of the post-Soviet space consists of themselves: (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and other CIS countries), as well as their neighboring states and neighboring countries. Carriers and forwarders from the CIS, when promoting transport services, are primarily guided by Runet (Russian-oriented sites), it is here that you can attract an audience – cargo owners and interest them in your services. The fact is that companies from Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, etc. are equally successful in the market of international cargo transportation in the CIS countries. This is due to both traditional trade relations between these countries and similar directions of cargo transportation to neighboring countries.

For example, for Ukraine and for Russia and Moldova, the most important directions of cargo transportation outside the CIS are Turkey, China, Eastern European countries that are members of the EU: Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Poland etc. From these countries, a powerful cargo flow of consumer goods, food, clothing, equipment has been established – the most demanded products for transportation and redistribution, sales within the post-Soviet countries.

Criteria for choosing a transport company.

Accordingly, when searching for a transport company on the Internet, you will be offered the services of companies from different CIS countries operating in the most popular destinations, and at first glance there is no difference in who to give preference in this matter. This is a wrong opinion. Each direction has its own characteristics, and not every company can offer equally acceptable and favorable conditions for cargo transportation. Let’s look at some examples:

1) The cargo owner needs domestic transportation of cargo, say, from Moscow to Voronezh or any other city. At first glance, it is most logical to contact a transport company from Russia. However, keep in mind that a Ukrainian or Moldovan transport company that has free transport in Moscow or the Moscow region (which has just delivered cargo there on a different order) may carry out the same transportation much cheaper and in this case we are not talking about dumping.< /p>

2) Note the following factor. Unlike a Russian company, which will have to look for transport for your order, we can offer transport that is already in place near the place of loading, it is already free. Our company, as a transportation contractor, does not lose anything from the execution of a passing order, i.e. transportation will be carried out at the most acceptable price conditions for the cargo owner. Considering passing transport.

– Plan your shipments as carefully as possible and start searching for a contractor well in advance. This will allow you and the transport company to prepare for the execution of a transport order, offer the best option for transporting goods, so that the work is not at a loss to yourself and satisfies the cargo owner.

Cargo transportation between countries with special interstate relations.

1). An important role in choosing a contractor is played by economic and trade relations between the countries where or from where goods are transported. Thus, within the framework of the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, carriers from these countries have some well-known privileges compared to competitors from Moldova or Ukraine.

For comparisonFor example, it will be more convenient to contact a transport company from Moldova when ordering cargo transportation from Romania or Moldova to Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan. Romania, which is a member of the EU, has strong good neighborly relations with Moldova, and it is easier for our transport company to arrange entry/exit to Romania. This is manifested in particular in the same issue of opening visas. Carriers with valid Romanian visas work steadily in our transport company.

– The organization of international cargo transportation directly depends on the conjuncture of international relations between states. Given this, you can get small advantages in price and delivery time.

2). Cargo transportation from / to the countries of the Balkan Peninsula: Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey. When transporting goods from the countries of the Black Sea and Mediterranean basins, a transport company from Moldova has an advantage in terms of geographical location. For companies from Ukraine or Russia, the delivery of cargo from these countries to Kyiv, Moscow, St. Petersburg or another city will cost more and take longer, which, of course, will affect the final cost of cargo delivery.

Undoubtedly, they can use sea freight transportation on the Black Sea, but if you need fast delivery of goods by road from Turkey, Greece or the Balkans to Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, then a transport company from Moldova – This is the most acceptable and fastest option for transporting goods. The favorable geographical location of Moldova allows our transport company to equally successfully carry out transport operations from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea.

3). Transportation to European countries: Eastern, Central and Western Europe. With the direction of the European Union, the situation is different, due to more complex customs procedures, the opening of visas, etc. In this direction, carriers from the CIS countries are in approximately equal conditions, and the resource and technical base of the transport company plays a decisive role in choosing a contractor; external relations with partners, the presence of consolidated warehouses in Europe, the ability to provide the customer with a choice of transport of the Euro 4, Euro 5 standard, and optimal routes.

– Try to find as much information as possible about the shipping company. This is an indicator of both the openness (transparency) of its activities, and the leading position in the market of cargo transportation, corresponding to reality.

Other aspects of choosing a transport service provider using the Internet.

Separately, it is worth paying attention to some nuances of searching for a transport company on the Internet. As you know, most cargo owners, like other users, use search sites (Yandex, Google), asking certain queries, in our case “international freight”, “cargo delivery”, “find transport”, etc. At the same time, it is important to take into account the algorithm of the search engines, which today is by no means perfect. A proverb will be appropriate here – not all that glitters is gold. After all, any site can break into the top 10 Yandex, if the developers and SEO optimizers work hard on it, and this is far from equivalent to the competence and professionalism of the company in the international cargo transportation market.

Always pay attention to the semantic content of the content (texts on the site), and the quality of the transportation services provided. Laudatory texts to oneself from the category “we are the best of the best” also give away, to put it mildly, unprofessionalism. Any business is a complex, multifaceted process that depends on many factors, and empty self-praise is unacceptable in such a serious activity as international cargo delivery.
