Entrust Your Imports and Exports to Our World-Class Freight Forwarding Services
Ask any successful importer and exporter what the necessary components of success in the industry are. Individual shippers and large-scale enterprises alike will rank working with a skilled freight forwarder near the top of their lists. The benefits of doing so simply cannot be overstated. You will save time, you will save money, and you will save yourself the headache of wading through paperwork and documentation outside of your area of expertise.
Dealing with the logistics of your importing/exporting duties is a full-time job in and of itself—a job that you really don’t have time to train for. Why not leave those logistics to JF Moran, and work with a partner that is established as a worldwide leader in the field? With our base of operations in Rhode Island and our strategic partnerships with agents and carriers around the world, you can expect smooth sailing (and shipping!) when you work with us.
What Does a Freight Forwarder Do?
This is a pretty loaded question, because the most simple answer is: a lot. You can think of your freight forwarder as the intermediary through which you coordinate with the many transportation services you’ll interact with throughout the importing and exporting process. Depending on the scope of your business, it is very possible that you’ll not only be dealing with multiple shipping agents and carriers, but that you’ll be doing so at the international level.
What this means is that you’ll need to ensure that you are following all domestic and foreign laws and regulations accordingly, and that you are in compliance with even the complicated requirements. Working with a freight forwarder of JF Moran’s caliber guarantees not only this, but also that every partner you’re connected with to complete your project and get everything to its destination successfully is also of the highest caliber. These are the types of relationships that quite literally take decades to build.
Stay In Compliance, and Stay On Budget
With anything as complicated as the concept of freight forwarding, you want to be sure that you are getting your money’s worth out of the team that you partner with. A major benefit of working with a freight forwarder like us, that has been in the business (and family-owned) for more than 80 years, is that you’re saving money while simultaneously reducing your workload. Too good to be true? Not with our freight forwarding services on your side.
You have to consider the many costs that will be reduced by partnering with a qualified freight forwarder. Over nearly a century, our team has gathered a depth of industry knowledge that cannot be topped. We are able to provide you with world-class service that suits your budget because we’ve developed relationships with world-class carriers and other industry professionals. Our position in the marketplace grants us the purchasing strength to negotiate rates throughout the shipping process, passing those savings along to you.
Freight Forwarding Is Not a One-Size-Fits-All Solution
Even a cursory look through our history here at JF Moran will turn up case after case of successful freight forwarding jobs. We can give you the names of those air freighters, trucking companies, and ocean liners in our vast network of carefully vetted, tried and tested partners. But the ability to get the job done and to get your cargo where it needs to be is only part of the equation. The other component is your complete satisfaction with the way in which we do it.
Be wary of any freight forwarder trying to sell you on a plan without first fully understanding your needs.
It is one thing to be able to handle the Customs paperwork and keep track of shipping containers. It is another situation entirely to be prepared to offer custom solutions for unique shipment conditions. We understand that our clients are all in the same general industry, but their needs vary wildly. The mark of a great freight forwarder, and one that we wear proudly, is the ability to meet those special shipment conditions head-on, and to establish a trusting relationship with our clients through truly world-class service.
