How long does it take for a shipment to be picked up?

Shipments are typically picked up on same day they are booked. We usually need a 4 hour window from ready time to close time in order to get a truck to your location. If the truck misses the pick up due to time constraints it will automatically come the next morning. Full container ocean shipments may take 48-72 hours to schedule a pick up as we need to secure a container and space on the vessel before we bring the container for you to load the cargo in.
