A freight forwarder is a transportation professional that handles the safe moving of a business's freight from one location to another. The freight forwarders at the moving company of M. Dyer & Sons, Inc., based on the island of Oahu, have connections to more than 500 trusted freight agents located within the state of Hawaii, on the American mainland, and around the world. Below are three facts about freight forwarding and how it helps businesses operate and thrive with ease.

3 Facts About Freight Forwarding

1. A Professional Manages the Paperwork

Shipping between various locations, whether nationally or internationally, requires a massive amount of paperwork. All of this red tape can be intimidating, and one minor error on a form can mean your freight is held up for days or even weeks. With a freight forwarder overseeing your shipments, the stress is off of you; a professional who is skilled and versed in the administrative aspects of shipping will ensure a smooth transport from one location to the next.

2. A Freight Forwarder Gets You the Best Possible Prices

It's possible to ship your freight without a forwarding service, but you are going to pay rates that are far above what a forwarder could get you. Professional forwarders have longstanding relationships with all types of shipping companies who work via air, land, and sea. They draw on these relationships to negotiate prices that are more conducive to your budget and your goals.

3. A Freight Forwarder Gives You a Single Point of Contact

But with a professional freight forwarder, you have a single point of contact—one customer service pro who manages all your moving services. This means you don't have to keep track of your contacts with every moving company at every point of transport, and if you have an issue, you simply place a call to the person overseeing your job. Freight forwarding makes transport stress- and hassle-free.
