What is the inland transportation process?

Inland transportation can include various modes of transportation, such as rail, inland waterways, pipelines, or truck transport. Titan’s transportation services can integrate with your complex intermodal move or simply handle pick-up and delivery of your shipment to or from a port.

What are inland freight charges?

Inland freight or “inland haulage” costs are charged by carriers to transport goods domestically — whether delivering imported shipments from a port to a buyer, taking goods to a port to be exported, or simply moving goods between two inland locations. The total cost will vary widely depending on the type of load, the distance being traveled, and fuel and labor costs.

How do I pick up a shipment from a port?

Once your shipment has been unloaded from the vessel or aircraft, all owed charges are paid, and it is released by Customs, it will be made available at the port and will have to be picked up within an allotted amount of time (or detention and demurrage charges will be incurred). Some buyers are able to pick up their shipments themselves if they have the right equipment, but most will want to work with a trusted logistics company. If you are responsible for arranging the delivery of the shipment, you can hire a domestic freight forwarding company, freight broker, or trucking company to take your shipment from the terminal to its final destination.

What is inland freight transportation?

Inland freight transportation refers to the movement of goods by land within a country using various modes of transport such as trucks, trains, and pipelines. Unlike overseas or air freight, which involves transporting goods across international borders or through the air, inland freight focuses on domestic routes. This form of transportation is crucial for the seamless distribution of products and plays a pivotal role in supporting a country's economy and infrastructure. It ensures that goods, from raw materials to finished products, are moved efficiently and safely to their destinations. The choice between trucking or rail often depends on the nature and urgency of the cargo, distance to be covered, and specific delivery requirements. With increasing emphasis on reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable logistics, many companies are continuously seeking ways to optimize their inland freight operations for efficiency and environmental friendliness.

What does an inland cargo transfer company do?

An inland cargo transfer company is responsible for the domestic transportation and handling of goods. They use various modes such as trucks, railways, and barges to move commodities, ensuring efficient logistics and adherence to regulatory requirements within a country's interior regions.

We hired Titan to move our 230 ton Manitowoc from Long Beach, CA to Aberdeen, WA. Their pricing was competitive. We hired them site unseen after a recommendation from the crane broker. Nearly immediately we knew Titan was the right choice. Jerrod "JB" Black had already googled the crane specs and figured out Titan could make the haul in 11 legal loads. We had assumed 12. JB's communication was perfect. Not once were we left "in the dark." In short, I FULLY recommend Titan and JB Black. If the need ever arises we will absolutely use this group again.

Titan Worldwide Logistics was a pleasure to do business with. Extremely fast and reliable; provided competitive price, quality service, and most of all they communicated thoroughly. Had the pleasure to work with Jerrod Black, who stopped at nothing to make sure the process was seamless and our customers were satisfied, and their drivers were a good representation of the top notch service we provide. Very upbeat and professional throughout the entire process. Positivity is contagious and Jerrod makes sure that your experience is a positive one. Hauling in and out of refineries can be complicated but they made it easy. I definitely recommend their services! Ask to work with J Black. You wont be disappointed.

I have used Titan several times to transport semi-trucks and trailers across the country. I have worked specifically with Meaghan Mock and she is amazing. She asks all the right questions and is cool, calm, and collected. She is also very quick to respond to any questions or situations during the transport of the equipment.

I used Titan Worldwide to hotshot a forklift from South Dakota to Wyoming and was very happy with their service. The pickup and delivery went smoothly, with no issues or hiccups. Our branch received their forklift within a day. The whole process was fast and easy, from the price quote to offloading. Big thanks to Ashley Hawkins. A+ service and professionalism.

Our Solar Panel Shipping Services & Capabilities

Whether you’re shipping several solar panels to your property or coordinating a significant solar energy project, Titan’s transportation services have you covered. We deliver all types of solar panels, including monocrystalline solar panels, polycrystalline solar panels, thin film panels, and panels that qualify as hazmat shipments. Our industry expertise and dedication to quality customer support ensure a seamless shipping experience.

Heavy Haul Permits & Planning

Large solar panels are heavy loads that require a transportation company familiar with heavy-haul and oversized shipments – including all necessary permits, specialized equipment, and best practices for safe and timely delivery. Heavy haul involves much more than sending a qualified driver on the road with your freight. Our team of logistics professionals works on your behalf to ensure your project is on budget and arrives safely.

Full Truckload (FTL) & Less-than-Truckload (LTL)

Titan Worldwide can handle local or long-haul deliveries of your solar panel shipments. And if your palletized solar panels don’t take up an entire dry van or shipping container, our delivery services include freight consolidation, where your load shares the ride with other loads like yours for a more affordable delivery.

Flatbed Trucking

Flatbed trailers are the most common mode of transportation for oversized solar panels that won’t fit in a conventional van. Titan Worldwide is experienced with heavy and over-dimensional loads and can arrange efficient delivery of your shipment on a flatbed trailer.

Hazmat Hauling

Some solar panels are categorized as hazardous materials. Our team of seasoned employees, including the fully-trained truckers we choose, will ensure that every hazmat truckload receives the care it demands and that all regulations are followed to the letter.

Solar Shipping FAQ

How much does it cost to ship solar panels?

The logistics and transportation costs for a solar project depend on a number of factors, including: the number of panels, the origin and destination of the shipments, warehousing needs, and fluctuating supply chain costs like fuel or vessel spot rates. Contact the transportation experts at Titan for more details on solar panel shipping costs.

What is the best way to ship solar panels?

Standard solar panels (as opposed to flexible panels) are typically palletized, surrounded and separated by protective materials, and stacked vertically. Due to solar panel weight and breakability, it’s best to partner with trusted shipping companies that have proven track records of safe and timely delivery.

How much does a pallet of solar panels weigh?

Assuming a weight of approximately 50 pounds per commercial solar panel, and a pallet that fits around 30 panels, a full pallet of solar panels could weigh 1500 pounds or more. However, note that solar panel weight varies widely across different models, and you will need exact weight specifications from a manufacturer or consolidator/stuffer to know the dimensions of your particular shipment.
