Cost-effective consolidation for smaller consignments that do not need a full vehicle, planned around compatible cargo and dependable delivery schedules.

Specialized equipment

Heavy Haul & Oversized Cargo

Engineered transport for machinery, generators, transformers, construction equipment, and project loads using lowbeds, extendable trailers, and multi-axle equipment.

Clear answers

Frequently asked questions about road freight

These answers cover common road transport questions. Equipment, documents, transit time, and pricing depend on the cargo, route, border requirements, capacity, and delivery schedule.

What is road freight?

Road freight is the transport of goods by truck or commercial vehicle. It supports domestic distribution, cross-border trade, port and warehouse transfers, and door-to-door delivery because vehicles can reach locations that are not served directly by rail, sea, or air.

What is the difference between FTL and LTL?

Full Truck Load (FTL) gives one shipment exclusive use of a vehicle and suits large, sensitive, or urgent loads. Less Than Truck Load (LTL) combines compatible consignments from multiple customers, making it more economical for smaller shipments.

Do you provide cross-border trucking?

Yes. Manifest Express coordinates road freight between Iraq and neighboring countries, including vehicle planning, transit documents, border procedures, customs support, milestone updates, and onward delivery.

Can you transport oversized or heavy equipment?

Yes. We arrange lowbed, flatbed, extendable, and multi-axle transport for heavy machinery, generators, transformers, construction equipment, and project cargo, subject to route surveys, permits, access conditions, and equipment availability.

Do you offer door-to-door road freight?

Yes. We can coordinate collection, transport planning, border and customs support where applicable, optional warehousing or distribution, and final delivery under one shipment plan.

What information is needed for a road freight quote?

Provide the pickup and delivery locations, cargo description, quantity, weight, dimensions, packaging, required dates, handling needs, and any customs or permit information. Photos or drawings are helpful for oversized and heavy cargo.
