Tips for Best Results
Use major port cities for origin and destination to get the most carrier options. Freight rates are highly volatile and vary by season, so schedule regular runs using Apify schedules to track market trends. Compare 20ft and 40ft container rates to find the best value for your shipment volumes. Note that actual booked rates may differ from published estimates due to contract pricing and spot market conditions.
