Newsfeed Update
The hidden costs in project cargo are rarely found in the freight rate.
Demurrage. Crane standby. Storage overruns. Emergency rerouting. These are the costs that appear when a logistics operation has not been planned with enough rigour from the outset.
Individually they are manageable. Combined across a delayed project, they can dwarf the original freight budget.
At Transcar we approach every operation with a single objective. Make sure the costs that were not in the quote never appear on the final invoice.
That means detailed planning, early engagement with every party in the chain, and contingency that is agreed before it is ever needed.
The freight rate is just the beginning of the cost conversation. We make sure it stays that way.
