Freight forwarding is a service used by companies that need international or domestic shipping. Freight forwarders typically do not own the airplanes, trucks or ships, they arrange transport with those providers, helping customers find the right transportation option that fits their needs. Rock-it Global specializes in delivering multi-national tours and importing and exporting cargo into multiple countries. Please fill out our new customer application, get set up as a known shipper and be approved to ship so we can hit the ground running as soon as possible and not be bogged down with paperwork when time is of the essence with urgent and critical freight.
