Do you need freight forwarding business partners?

In most case with the use of newly developed marketing know-how getting partners in freight forwarding business should not be a stumbling block in going into the business. After all the industry is a trillion dollar industry with no monopoly. Although it is hard to analyze the whole scenario surrounding this industry, many believe that you cannot effectively discharge your services with out a partner.I want to prove critics wrong in this perception. Freight forwarding Business can be carried out without partnership of any sort.I tend to believe 100% on a new system recently released in a form of an eBook look at it here.. http://www.oceanalliance.co.ke The eBook is a masterpiece of never released before information relating to this industry more-so in the way the freight forwarding business should be contacted in the hi-tech market environment.Unless there is something else more interesting other than doing business in the free world, then i don't understand why someone needs a partner at all.

Freight is anything that is not small parcel. Most freight shipments are over 150 lbs and typically are palletized. Some criterial for freight packaging is:BundlesBoxDrumPailPiecesRollsSlipsheetTotesCrateCartonCoilGaylordFreight- the transportation of goods or cargo. These thing are transported by land (Train, trucks etc.), water, and air!Less-than-truckload (LTL) freight"Less than truckload" (LTL) cargo is the first category of freight shipment, and represents the majority of "freight" shipments and the majority of business-to-business (B2B) shipments. LTL shipments are also often referred to as "motor freight" and the carriers involved are referred to as "motor carriers". LTL shipments range from 100 pounds to about 15,000 pounds, and the majority of times they will be less than 100" wide or 28' long. The average single piece of LTL freight is 1,200 pounds and the size of a standard pallet. Long freight and/or large freight are subject to "extreme length" and "cubic capacity" surcharges. Trailers used in LTL can range from 28' to 53'. The standard for city deliveries is usually 48'. In tight and residential environments the 28' trailer is used the most. The shipments are usually palletized, shrink-wrapped and packaged for a mixed-freight environment. Unlike express or parcel, LTL shippers must provide their own packaging, as LTL carriers do not provide any packaging supplies or assistance. However, crating or other substantial packaging may be required for LTL shipments in circumstances that require this criteria.Dictionary: NOUN:Goods carried by a vessel or vehicle, especially by a commercial carrier; cargo.A burden; a load.Commercial transportation of goods.The charge for transporting goods.
