We also offer direct and scheduled service within the United States, as well as to destinations such as Central America, South America, the Caribbean Basin, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. So whether it’s by ocean, ground, or air, BMI will get it there.

As a licensed International Freight Forwarder, Freight Consolidator (NVOCC), and Indirect Air Carrier in the United States, BMI covers all U.S. ports and airports with ease. In addition, we aim to assist customers with the management of their shipments through our value-added services in freight management, door-to-door delivery, consolidation, deconsolidation, transloading, international trade document management, e-mail status updates, online tracking, online booking, cargo insurance, and consulting.

BMI relies on tried-and-true strategies to bring the best service to our customers, while also evolving as the world around us changes in areas such as customer requirements, carrier tariffs, and federal regulations (both domestic and international). Our global network, as well as our domestic knowledge and expertise, allow us to continually respond to customers’ logistics needs.

We understand that every shipment is different. That’s why here at BMI, we tailor our services for each delivery based on urgency and handling, with both cost and transit time in mind for optimal results. Even though BMI moves cargo and products to destinations all over the world, we still know how to make customers feel at home with our friendly, knowledgeable employees and our excellent service that provides quality care for your merchandise as if it were our own.

OCEAN FREIGHT CONSOLIDATORS
Thousands of cargo carriers handle international trade across the world’s oceans and seas. These carriers service global and niche markets on a variety of cargo vessels, including container ships and bulk carriers, to ship global freight of any size. Since 1976, customers have depended on BMI to navigate the complex waters of ocean transportation and see all kinds of products and materials to their final destinations.

BMI doesn’t own the ships that carry our customers’ freight; rather, we are a group of transport managers dedicated to meeting our clients’ logistics needs when moving large products or quantities of goods to destinations via ocean. Our transport managers take advantage of improvements in ocean freight such as faster ships and shipping routes to give our customers service that is timely and reliable.

Our success in shipping cargo across the ocean comes from providing scheduled service, competitive prices, highly skilled employees, and numerous transportation services, which include:

Project Cargo (Oversized/Overweight/Internatinal/Domestic)
FCL (Dry/Refrigerated)
LCL
International Trade Documentation
Warehouse & Distribution
Pickup & Delivery Services
Online Tracking

We are able to assist companies by managing the movement of a variety of heavyweight cargo. In addition, we provide scheduled import and export service to move FCL, LCL, and break-bulk cargo from the United States to Central and South America, Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, and other destinations around the world via ocean.

Our company is a fully licensed International Ocean Consolidator (NVOCC) and Ocean Freight Forwarder, and we are certified to handle clients’ hazardous material. We also employ qualified agents to aid in customs clearance with all the speed and accuracy our customers deserve.

BMI helps clients with warehousing, pickups, delivery, and online tracking as well. Our freight management system is an Internet-based software that allows our customers to follow the movement of their shipments to their destinations from beginning to end.

We have offered dependable, error-free service for over a quarter of a century. At BMI, we invite you to join our tradition of excellent service and transport solutions for all your international shipments.

TRUCK TRANSPORTATION
In the world of freight transportation, especially for domestic pickups and deliveries, trucking dominates the market. Almost any good or product we come into contact with in our daily lives has made part, if not all, of its journey to us via truck. Here at BMI, we’ve provided long haul and local transportation services for our clients for the last 30 years. We offer international trucking services as well as domestic transportation from any point in the United States, including Houston, New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Savannah, Atlanta, Charleston, Norfolk, and Miami. Our goal is to get your shipments on the road and to their destinations faster and safer with our pickup and delivery trucking services.

When a client chooses BMI, he or she is choosing a highly qualified logistics management team committed to finding the right equipment, moving freight to the right destination, and making the delivery at the right time. Customers can take advantage of our multitude of trucking services and equipment, which include:

Project Cargo (Overweight & Oversized)
FTL (Full Truck Load)
LTL (Less than Truck Load)
Enclosed Vans
Flatbeds (Extendible)
Step-decks (Extendible) & Drop-decks (Single, Double, Extendible)
Lowboys (Double Drop, 35 to 225 ton, 6 to 20 axel trailers)
Rail
Barges
Container Pick-up & Delivery
To ship cargo as quickly and efficiently as possible, many companies choose 3rd party transportation logistics providers like BMI to manage their freight for the entire transportation process. Valuable resources such as time, energy, and money can be wasted in the hassle of handling all the details of a shipment in-house. Instead, BMI can coordinate and ship our customers’ goods and materials. This allows businesses to take a back seat while still having access to all their booking information and shipping details through our online business solutions applications.

Another benefit to charging BMI with the task of delivering your shipments is that we make your cargo’s security a priority by only using carriers that have insurance and a high safety rating. In addition, the information on a client’s freight is all in one place and handled by one logistics management team, which reduces the risk of error and facilitates total transport solutions. BMI offers the experience and expertise required to deliver cargo on time every time, while also staying within the client’s budget.

AIR FREIGHT FORWARDER (DOMESTIC & GLOBAL)
With BMI’s air services, flying freight is a breeze. We coordinate and transport merchandise of any kind via aircraft, including cargo that is too heavy or large to fit in the belly of passenger aircrafts as well as hazardous and perishable goods. The dedicated, experienced professionals at BMI have provided air freight transportation services that are on schedule and within budget for over three decades. Our company is a licensed TSA Indirect Carrier and freight forwarder that also assists clients with customs clearance, so whether your cargo needs to travel within the United States or outside the country, it can fly through BMI.

Airlines often fly planes between major cities daily, giving us the accessibility needed to move goods as quickly as next-day delivery. For customers seeking a more economical service, BMI is also able to deliver freight on a 2-4 day and 5-6 day global service. Shipping by air is usually more expensive than by ocean, but air transportation provides reliability and moves goods much quicker because airlines have multiple weekly departures and faster transit times compared to ocean shipping. This makes our air services perfect for timely solutions on time-critical cargo. At BMI, we offer competitive air freight rates and do everything we can to minimize your per unit cost so that moving your cargo is as easy and affordable as possible.

Through our complete logistics services, we handle clients’ cargo from start to finish as if it were our own. We have a network of 188 agents in 96 countries that is growing every week to manage our clients’ freight and provide them with our wide range of services. In order to satisfy the individual needs of every customer, our air services include:

Door-to-door delivery
Airport-to-airport delivery
Consolidated cargo
Loose cargo
In transit cargo
Service from all points in the U.S.
Over 70 drop stations
Selection from multiple carriers

We know that each shipment is unique, which is why our clients’ air transportation experiences are so customizable. A customer of BMI can elect to have the freight simply arrive at the airport, for instance, or it can be delivered to his or her door. In addition, shippers and consignees looking for extra security have the option of insuring air cargo through BMI. Whatever route you want to take, we have the knowledge and flexibility to move your shipment swiftly, safely, and to your specifications.
