Fleet: 3-ton, 7-ton and 10-ton closed pickups, 12 m and 15 m trailers, low-bed for oversize machinery, refrigerated trucks when the cargo needs a cold chain, and car carriers for vehicles.

Indicative cost shape to GCC
Highway run Dubai → GCC (city km confirmed on the booking). LTL AED 160–420 / CBM is a planning band, not a poster rate. 3-ton AED 1,800–5,200. 12 m AED 3,500–10,500. Air AED 12–28 / kg. Chargeable kg or CBM is confirmed at intake. Packing, tower access, SABER holds and destination partner last-mile sit outside the band unless written.
Who actually moves cargo to GCC
Cargo Service Dubai is the Dubai booking and coordination desk: we qualify the cargo, obtain partner rates, and keep one WhatsApp thread. Collection, line-haul and delivery into GCC are arranged with contracted transport partners. We do not advertise an owned trailer on every GCC lane. Transit FTL 1–4 days / LTL 2–6 days starts after a complete file — not when you first message.
What the quote includes — and what it does not
Included when written: UAE pickup or Ras Al Khor drop-off, packing if quoted, export file work, and the GCC handover type (door, warehouse or terminal). Not included unless DDP is on the paper: Saudi or GCC duty, VAT, SABER fees, crane, inside-room unpack, or a partner delay at Al Batha, Abu Samra, Hatta / Al Wajajah, Nuwaiseeb or King Fahd Causeway. If a partner is held, this desk stays the contact — we do not disappear behind a third party.
