Swift Express Courier's Logistics Solutions deliver a fully integrated, end-to-end freight management experience. From first-mile pickup to last-mile delivery, our network of carriers, technology platforms, and logistics specialists ensures your cargo moves efficiently, reliably, and with complete visibility at every stage of the journey.
1. Service Overview
Our logistics division handles shipments of all scales . from single pallets to full truckloads and complex multi-leg consignments. We combine proprietary route optimisation software with a global carrier network to deliver the right solution for every shipment profile.
Whether you need a one-off freight movement or a fully managed supply chain contract, our team of logistics experts designs solutions around your operational requirements and timelines.
2. Ground Freight
Full Truckload (FTL)
Dedicated vehicle movements for large consignments requiring exclusive use of trailer space. Ideal for time-sensitive or high-value freight that cannot share space with other cargo. We operate temperature-controlled, standard dry van, flatbed, and specialist vehicle types across our network.
Less Than Truckload (LTL)
Cost-efficient shared freight services for smaller consignments. Our consolidation hubs across all major metropolitan areas allow us to group compatible shipments, optimise route density, and deliver competitive transit times without the cost of a full vehicle commitment.
- Next-day LTL: Available within major urban corridors
- Economy LTL: 2–5 day service for cost-sensitive shipments
- Oversized freight: Specialist handling for non-standard dimensions
- Hazardous materials: ADR-compliant transport with trained drivers
3. Multi-modal Transport
Complex supply chains often require seamless transitions between transport modes. Our multi-modal service coordinates road, rail, sea, and air freight within a single managed solution, giving you simplified administration, a single point of accountability, and optimised cost-to-speed trade-offs.
- Road + Rail: Long-distance domestic routes with rail linehaul for lower emissions and cost
- Sea + Road: Port-to-door import and export solutions with drayage included
- Air + Road: Express international shipments with fast ground distribution at destination
- Full intermodal: Container-based solutions using standardised equipment across all modes
Single contract, multiple modes. Swift Express Courier manages all carrier handoffs, documentation, and customs filings across every leg of a multi-modal movement . one invoice, one tracking platform, one point of contact.
4. Real-Time Tracking
