On-carriage (freight transport)
The follow-up ( English on carriage is) in the road haulage of some transportation and supply chain , which the transport of goods by receiving freight forwarders from the main transport means for receiver ( buyer takes over). The counterpart is the lead .
General
A supply chain consists of at least two modes of transport that make up combined transport . Especially when sending groupage or general cargo , the receiving freight forwarder transports the freight from the train station , airport or port ( inland port or sea port ), where it is loaded onto the on-carriage means of transport.
organization
The receiving forwarder receives the roll card , which is on the way as accompanying paper with the freight on the main run . It transports the cargo from the transshipment point of the main means of transport ( freight train , cargo plane or cargo ship ) to the recipient. The receiving freight forwarder is responsible for the delivery , whereby a notification is possible before delivery , especially for large customers . The transport costs for pre- and post-carriage are referred to as cartage . In March 1932, Schenker AG received the exclusive right to organize road freight transport in the pre- and post-carriage of rail transport.
