Why customers choose express trucking

Express delivery is for when the deadline is critical. 12–15 days from China — faster than rail (14–18 days) and faster than sea (30–45 days). Truck — point-to-point, without transloading. Priority handling along the entire route: from factory pickup to delivery at the consignee's warehouse.

  1. 12–15 days — faster than rail and sea

    Truck express is the fastest overland delivery method from China. 12–15 days versus 14–18 days by rail and 30–45 days by sea. When the deadline is critical — the optimal option. Point-to-point delivery without a sea leg.

  2. Point-to-point without transloading

    The container is loaded onto a truck in China and unloaded at the consignee's warehouse in Russia. No intermediate transloading, no extra terminals. Minimum time in transit, minimum risk of cargo damage.

  3. Priority handling along the route

    Express is not just a fast truck. It is priority at every stage: cargo pickup, loading, border crossing, customs clearance, delivery. Every participant in the chain knows the cargo is urgent.

  4. First mile in China — offices in Shanghai and Chengdu

    Our own specialists in China arrange factory pickup on a priority basis. Document checks, consolidation — without delays. The cargo is dispatched correctly and quickly.
