Central Transport Courier

Services

Next-day delivery, scheduled ground freight, and international by ocean and air.

24-hour delivery

Our fastest service. Book by 2:00pm and the shipment is collected the same day and delivered the next, door to door. It moves on a direct run with no terminal hold, and it is scanned at pickup, at every handover and at the door. Up to 10,000 lb per shipment.

All services

Transit times are business days counted from pickup, not from booking. They exclude time held at customs and time lost to a failed delivery attempt. Where a shipment will miss its estimate we update the tracking page rather than waiting for you to ask.

How we price

Freight is charged on whichever is greater: actual gross weight, or dimensional weight calculated as length × width × height in inches divided by 166. Quotes hold for 14 days. Duties, VAT, port charges and terminal handling are separate and billed at cost.

Surcharges that may apply

  • Residential or limited-access pickup and delivery
  • Liftgate service where no dock is available
  • Detention beyond 30 minutes at pickup or delivery
  • Redelivery after a failed attempt where no one was available
  • Storage beyond the free period once a shipment reaches the destination terminal
  • Port storage and demurrage on international vehicle shipments

International

We ship by ocean and air from Baltimore and Newark to the UK and mainland Europe. We file the US export declaration and clear at destination. Import duty and VAT are assessed on arrival and are the receiver's responsibility unless the booking says otherwise. Vehicles can be shipped by container or roll-on/roll-off; ask us for a quote.

Coverage

We run our own equipment across the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Midwest, and work with vetted partner carriers elsewhere. Partner legs track on this site through the same number.
