Cargoboard acts as the initial freight forwarder and utilizes (among others) partner networks such as CargoLine for the execution of transports. In this process, Cargoboard specifically handles dispatching, customer support, and billing; the operational execution of the transport is carried out by partner companies. Note: Different conditions apply depending on the tariff model: In the Cargoboard tariff, Cargoboard selects the executing company (Cargoboard T&Cs apply). For parcel shipping where a transport service provider is selected by the user, their specific business and transport conditions take precedence.
