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.

Nationwide Wind Turbine Hauling Services

Wind turbines contain several thousand components. While most of them can be easily shipped across the country, turbine blades pose a major logistical challenge. Averaging 200-300 feet long, utility-scale turbine blades must be transported individually and in one piece. Titan Worldwide specializes in these heavy haul loads that require a high level of expertise as well as special equipment and permits.

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.

I work for a major insurance company, and Titan Worldwide has been our primary long haul provider for over 5 years. They continue to offer unrivaled customer service and reasonable pricing. Titan is capable of handling the most complex of jobs with expert precision. Meagan, in particular, has been wonderful. She is always available to provide bids, and does an excellent job of keeping us informed throughout the transporting process. I would highly recommend Titan to anyone in need of long distance vehicle hauling.

Titan is very communicative and great to work with. Providing the most affordable pricing to their customers and diverse in what they handle as far as heavy equipment freight goes. They're not scared to take on some new projects and get stuff done. Some of my favorite people to work with. If you don't work with em change that.

Our Wind Turbine Transportation Services & Capabilities

Titan Worldwide can arrange safe and efficient transportation for your wind energy project – from acquiring the right heavy haul permits to loading and delivering massive wind turbine blades on flatbed trucks.

Flatbed Trucking

Flatbed trailers are the most reliable means of wind turbine blade transportation, especially as the energy industry continues to manufacture larger wind turbines for maximum wind power – including longer blades. Flatbed trucks are long and low to the ground, accommodating the massive dimensions of wind turbine blades better than other transportation modes like trains.

Heavy Haul Permits

Most wind turbine blades fall into the superload category, requiring permits and surveys for every state they pass through. Acquiring these permits is a multi-step process, including an engineering route survey of bridges, highways, and potential overhead obstructions. Titan Worldwide specializes in transporting heavy equipment, meaning our team is familiar with the many requirements and precautions that come with wind turbine transportation.

Route Planning

Having the right equipment to transport wind turbines is only one side of the coin. You will also need to partner with a transportation company you trust to plan the route safely and efficiently, whether your final destination is only a short distance away or involves a complicated long-haul. Titan has extensive experience with oversized loads and we are more than up to the task!

Project Logistics

Titan provides expert logistics solutions for your entire wind turbine shipment – from the turbine blades to the many small components that make up this large piece of equipment. We plan ahead to make sure everything you need for your wind project is delivered safely and on time.

Wind Turbine Transportation FAQ

What are the components of a wind turbine?

Wind turbines contain up to 8,000 parts. The three primary wind turbine components are the tower, the nacelle (containing a set of gears and a generator), and the rotor blades.

How much does it cost to transport wind turbine blades?

The cost of shipping wind turbines will vary depending on the distance of the haul and the size of the turbine blades. Currently, it costs roughly $100,000 to $150,000 to pick up a fan blade from a port and deliver it to a wind farm. We can expect blades to get longer and heavier with continued investment in the wind industry as a renewable energy source.

Why are wind turbines difficult to transport?

Turbine blade lengths create many supply chain challenges including the need for specialized trailers and significant route planning, especially if it’s a long haul. Routes may need to include escort services and a plan for how to make it through narrow roads, tight intersections, or bad road conditions that become hazardous when carrying oversized equipment.
