One Booking, Every Mode Working as One Move

CSI Trans connects road, rail, sea and air into one plan — factory pickup by FTL or LTL, port and airport drayage, domestic rail and China-Europe / Central-Asia services, sea-rail and air-truck intermodal, and regional distribution — with GPS and temperature tracking through to signed POD.

End-to-End Multimodal Process

Eight Standard Steps, One Plan Across Every Mode

From factory floor to final distribution point — each mode and handover is sequenced under one booking.

01

Mode-Mix Design

Compare road, rail, sea and air options against transit time, cost and reliability, and lock the optimal chain.

02

Factory Pickup

FTL direct or LTL consolidated pickup at the factory or warehouse, loaded and documented against the plan.

03

Drayage to Port / Airport / Depot

Timed truck transfer to the seaport, airport or railway depot with gate windows and paperwork confirmed.

04

Rail Wagon & Space Booking

Book domestic rail wagons or China-Europe / Central-Asia train space, including SOC/COC container positions.

05

Loading, Securing & Customs Seal

Load and lash to the required standard, apply customs seals where applicable, and record weight and seal numbers.

06

Border Transfer & Customs Transit

Manage transhipment and gauge-change points at land borders, with customs transit declarations arranged.

07

Main-Leg Tracking

GPS position, rail wagon events and temperature data monitored in transit, with exception alerts.

08

Regional Distribution & POD

Break-bulk at the destination depot, regional trucking to each consignee, signed POD returned and filed.

How We Manage

One Forwarder, One Set of Milestones

  • One-Booking Model

    One order and one account desk coordinate the trucking companies, railway and carriers on every leg.

  • Option Comparison

    Cost, transit-time and reliability compared per move, so the mode mix is a decision, not a default.

  • GPS & Temperature Watch

    Position and temperature data on equipped trucks and active reefer units, with exception alerts.

  • Border Contingencies

    Congestion, gauge transfer and customs-hold playbooks ready at land gateways and transfer points.

  • All-In Costing

    Line haul, drayage, transfer and local charges quoted as one door-to-door bill.

The Standards We Work By

Every Leg on the Right Document and Rule

Multimodal moves cross regulators as well as borders — we book against the rail, road and customs-transit rules that apply to each leg.

Compliance statement

Each leg is performed by qualified carriers — licensed trucking companies, railways and shipping lines. CSI acts as the booking forwarder and multimodal coordinator: we arrange space, documents, customs transit and handovers across the legs. Dangerous-goods road moves are assigned to carriers holding the required dangerous-goods road transport qualifications.
