I worked closely with the client to understand their specific requirements and timelines. I then researched and contacted various shipping companies to compare rates and services. After finalizing the best option, I coordinated with the shipping company to ensure the cargo was properly packed and secured for transportation. I also organized the necessary documentation, such as bills of lading and customs paperwork. Throughout the process, I communicated regularly with the client to provide updates and address any concerns they had. The cargo arrived safely and on time, and the client was very satisfied with the smooth coordination of the transportation process.
