Why choose an urgent transport service for your deliveries?

Urgent transport represents a reliable and secure alternative to traditional shipments, which take longer and are sometimes a source of loss or error. With dedicated transport, shipments, parcels or pallets are picked up and transported, without intermediate stops, consolidation or docking, thus guaranteeing delivery times. Express carriers offer efficient, flexible and secure delivery solutions. Thanks to the specific, dedicated resources they deploy to transport your goods, they help companies in a wide range of sectors to manage their logistics flows.

An efficient solution for urgent deliveries throughout Europe

Urgent transport is characterized by extremely short delivery times, generally faster than in European air transport, given the time needed to set up the aircraft, and the time it takes toget to the departureairport and back, unless you have the criticality to be able to fully charter an aircraft . The carrier carries out the mission solely for the benefit of his customer, without breaking the load. He provides a dedicated vehicle for the mission. The courier or team responsible for the parcel makes no intermediate stops. This mode of shipment offers great flexibility and can be adapted to any emergency.

How express freight transport works

A company can use any mode of transport for urgent deliveries. While rail and air transport are suitable for very long distances, they involve numerous load breaks. Road transport is the most widespread mode of transport in France and Europe. It is fast and economical, especially when compared with air transport for short and medium distances. It is quick and easy to set up, and favors door-to-door delivery.

Express carriers offer turnkey parcel cab services. This service is suitable for all types of parcel, from confidential envelopes to pallets of goods. In and around Paris, the average courier delivery time is just a few hours. For the rest of France and Europe, the delivery time is between a few hours and two days. If necessary, 2 drivers or a relay can be set up to avoid the constraints of European regulations on breaks and driving times.

Maximum flexibility for urgent parcel delivery

Parcel-taxi transport offers considerable flexibility for companies. For purely emergency shipments, HK Courses can provide a quote in just a few minutes, 24 hours a day. The goods are then picked up within the hour following confirmation of the mission.

Our business customers also have recourse to scheduled express transport. We provide them with a vehicle for this cab parcel service, on a day and at a time determined in advance. Our teams deliver your documents or spare parts by hand, with no break in the load.

With this in mind, our services adapt to any unforeseen circumstances. We can modify loading and delivery schedules at your request. We can also add goods not initially planned, in compliance with load and volume specifications, even if this means changing vehicles.

Reliable service with guaranteed delivery times

Delivery time is one of the essential criteria to consider when choosing a mode of transport. With a tailor-made transport service, the express operator is able to advise the customer on the mode of transport to be chosen. Air deliveries are also among the logistics solutions available.

Most of the time, road transport appears to be themost reliable and economical option, particularly within continental Europe and even with the UK. With road haulage, the carrier is less subject to the vagaries of air transport, in particular with its unchanging take-off times, as well as a simplified documentation process, and is therefore more responsive to customer needs. 

HK Courses regularly carries out urgent shipments of spare parts for the agricultural and automotive industries. Our company contributes to your company's performance by being responsive 24/7. Deliveries are always made by hand and within the agreed delivery time. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, the consignee is immediately informed, and if necessary, a plan B can be drawn up and implemented in coordination with the client.

A secure solution for transporting fragile and sensitive goods

With urgent transport, parcels, crates and pallets are transported in conditions of maximum safety. Express carriers adhere to a strict process that guarantees flawless protection of the goods they transport.

Urgent shipments traced from pick-up to delivery

Companies choose urgent transport because it offers excellent safety guarantees. Transport is carried out by a dedicated vehicle and team. Loading and unloading operations are kept to a minimum, reducing the risk of damage or loss.

Express transport is rigorously monitored. At HK Courses, all our vehicles are equipped with a geolocation system. This means that deliveries can be tracked in real time. With hand delivery, the courier ensures that the load is handed over to the right person. If the urgent freight travels by train or plane, it is always accompanied by a team.

Logistics packaging adapted to the nature of urgent goods

Quality packaging preserves the integrity of your goods. For urgent shipments, packaging remains your responsibility. Our drivers are trained in the transport of fragile materials, in good transport practices for pharmaceutical products, and in gentle driving. However, it is your responsibility to choose suitable, approved packaging. In addition, we can provide you with chocks, straps and specialized crates.

The use of isothermal boxes for products that need to be transported at precise temperatures, particularly in thepharmaceutical industry, is handled by HK Courses. 

Probes can be installed to monitor temperature compliance during transport. Traceability of ice packs and packaging time is carried out according to the specifications provided by the customer.
