Efficient, Cost-Effective Florida Freight Forwarding Services

At a high level, a freight forwarder handles and coordinates shipments domestically or internationally. They serve as the intermediary forwarding agent between shippers and transportation providers.

A quality freight forwarder like NXTPoint Logistics will manage all of the details, from preparing the goods for shipment to choosing the optimal transportation modes and monitoring/managing the products in transit. We make modal choices based upon what’s being shipped, the timeline required and the partner’s budget. Our professional team will also prepare and take care of shipping documentation requirements.

In the “Centers for Florida Freight Forwarding Services” section of this page, we describe the facilities in Florida where we store, manage and distribute goods to coordinate the most efficient and cost-effective logistics operations possible. Thanks to our deep network, we are able to negotiate the best rates and shipping options for our customers.
