Hermes Logistics · Direct Freight Development

Build the freight network around verified carrier capacity.

After qualification, Hermes can define an initial working period—often approximately 90 days—to research and develop relevant direct relationships.

Why this path

A recommendation you can evaluate.

  • You selected direct shippers, dealers, or dedicated lanes.
  • Direct freight requires a qualified prospect pipeline and follow-up.
  • Repeatable lanes come from verified demand and performance, not preferences alone.

Recommended scope

What this path can include.

The final scope is confirmed only after authority, insurance, equipment, request details, operating fit, and current company capacity are reviewed where applicable.
