Texas International Freight is a construction freight forwarder that plans and executes the transport of heavy equipment across the U.S. and worldwide for jobsite mobilizations and mega-projects.
As an experienced construction freight forwarder, we manage carriers, schedules, permits, and compliance so your crews can focus on the build.
We provide end-to-end solutions for the construction sector—planning, packing, ocean and air moves, heavy-haul, and on-site coordination—to keep projects on time and on budget.
Below you’ll find practical steps and tips to move large construction cargo safely and predictably.
Comprehensive Planning for Construction Freight
We start with a buildable plan—shipment scheduling, jobsite access, staging, and a logistics framework that protects cargo integrity and time.
Example: for a remote infrastructure project, we combined heavy-lift cargo vessels for bulk materials with a coordinated overland fleet for last-mile delivery. Modes, windows, and permits were synchronized to hit the critical path.
The result: safe delivery, on schedule, within budget.
Logistics Services Built for Construction
Moving materials from A to B isn’t enough. You need a partner that plans, controls, and executes the flow of construction supplies from origin to site with safety and compliance at every step. Here’s how we do it:
Discovery and Project Plan
We scope materials, dimensions, lifting points, milestones, laydown space, and site constraints. We map the supply chain, align local and international sourcing, and tie deliveries to the build sequence.
Custom Move Strategy
We select the right mix of modes—breakbulk, RoRo, containers, air freight—and build routes and contingencies that reduce delay risk and cost.
Customs and Compliance
We handle documentation, permits, and customs brokerage across borders to avoid port and border holds.
On-Site Support
We coordinate unloading, export packing, storage, staging, and waste removal. Materials are positioned where crews need them, when they need them.
Real-Time Tracking and Clear Comms
Live tracking and proactive alerts keep all stakeholders aligned and issues resolved before they hit the schedule.
Final Delivery and Close-Out
We complete the last mile, document deliveries, and arrange returns or redeployments of unused materials to close the loop cleanly.
Agile Response When Plans Change
Construction changes fast. Our network and tools let us reroute, split, or expedite in hours. Whether it’s time-critical components, heavy equipment hauling, or adjusted windows at site, we adapt without blowing up cost.
