Courier for international road shipments: how do you plan the best route?

Speed, security, trackability: these are the three fundamental factors that a courier for international road shipments must be able to ensure.

However, there are a whole series of variables that can influence the success of an international shipment and that is why a good transport company must be able to carry out excellent planning for international routes to minimise risks and guarantee an experience without uncertainties.

The type of load to be transported

The type of goods to be shipped in an international land transport greatly influences the best route that you decide to take. trasporto internazionale terrestre influenza parecchio il percorso migliore che si decide di intraprendere.

For example, let's imagine a load of food products that must travel at certain temperature conditions to arrive at their destination in pristine condition, or pharmaceutical products or technologies that need to arrive at destinations very quickly and be stored in suitable environments.

Whatever the load you want to transport, at Aldieri we have the right solution for you: we specialise in the high tech, food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, non-profit, fashion and luxury sectors.

Distance, traffic, maximum driving hours

For international road transport couriers, it is of fundamental importance to anticipate the presence of any obstacles that could affect the duration of the transport.

This is because the priority is to be able to give the customer a realistic delivery estimate that takes into account all those variables that can increase the transport time.

In international road transport, travel time not only depends on the kilometres to be covered and the presence of traffic (often predictable based on timetables, days and periods, but sometimes completely unexpected), but also on the need for the transport staff to rest.

As per regulation, our couriers can spend a maximum of 9 hours a day driving which can be increased to 10 only two days a week.

These 9 hours cannot be consecutive, so our couriers take the necessary breaks to ensure safe transport for themselves and others.

We carefully monitor the active hours of each courier to evaluate the best way to proceed based on the specific case. For example, in the case of long journeys, making the same route with several drivers.

Presence of any obstacles on the path

Although it is often possible to predict the difficulty of a route (based on the time of year, time of day and geographical position), there are completely sudden obstacles which must then be managed with maximum efficiency.

A good international road transport courier must always have an alternative ready to avoid being stopped by these setbacks and to be able to complete the transport while minimising the effects and harm of any delays.

Shipment tracking

For the customer's peace of mind, a good international transport company must make it possible to know what the status of the shipment is at any time. At Aldieri, thanks to our tracking service, our customers can check where their product is, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from all devices.

Be aware of all administrative requirements

In international road transport, you must be completely ready to present all the necessary documentation to customs and always be updated on the current legislation, which can change from one day to the next: the lack of a single document can mess up the entire transport.

For this reason, at Aldieri, we personally take care of all the bureaucratic part of the international shipment thanks to our highly qualified staff, who have decades of experience.
