Fully loaded container ship arriving at a port with gantry cranes behind

Contracted ocean capacity with the inland legs included.

United Overnight Express is an FMC-licensed NVOCC with annual service contracts across the main alliances, so allocation holds through peak season and general rate increases are negotiated rather than absorbed. We issue our own bills of lading, file ISF and VGM on time, arrange drayage and chassis at both ends, and quote port-to-port, CY/CY or true door-to-door so nothing lands as an unexpected accessorial.

FCL & LCL Together

20ft, 40ft, high-cube, reefer, flat-rack and open-top equipment for full loads, plus weekly LCL consolidations from every major origin so small volumes still get a fixed sailing and a predictable transit.

Cost Controlled

Freight, THC, documentation, drayage, chassis and demurrage risk are shown line by line. Free-time monitoring and appointment scheduling keep detention and per-diem charges off your invoice.

Special Services

  • Buyer's consolidation

    Origin hubs in Asia, Europe and Latin America combine multiple suppliers' LCL cargo into full containers, cutting per-unit freight and inbound handling versus shipping each vendor separately.

  • Reefer, breakbulk and project cargo

    Temperature-controlled containers with set-point monitoring, plus out-of-gauge, breakbulk and RoRo movements with lift studies, lashing plans and marine-warranty survey where required.

  • Port-to-door execution

    Customs entry, terminal release, drayage, transload to domestic trailers and delivery appointments handled by one team, with container-level milestones from gate-in to empty return.

Special Solutions

Lane design comes first: port pairs, transshipment risk and inland cost are compared before a routing guide is published to your suppliers and reviewed each quarter.

  • Carrier and service selection scored on schedule reliability, not just base rate.
  • Container utilization and load-plan modeling to ship fewer, fuller boxes.
  • Demurrage and detention exposure tracking with proactive free-time alerts.
  • All-risk marine cargo insurance and in-house claims handling.
