Identify the cargo
Describe the goods and packaging, with package count, dimensions and gross weight. Photographs and a packing list can explain requirements that a short description misses. Flag unusual handling needs or restricted cargo at the start.
Specify both ends of the journey
Provide the pickup address in the UAE and the delivery address in Saudi Arabia, along with site contacts and access restrictions. Include preferred collection and delivery dates and any fixed receiving windows.
Explain loading and protection needs
State how the cargo will be loaded and unloaded, what handling equipment is available, and whether side or overhead access is needed. Discuss flatbed or curtain-side suitability with the transport team rather than selecting solely on a price.
Confirm the written scope
Ask the quotation to identify transport, documentation responsibilities, waiting-time treatment, insurance and any additional charges. Transit estimates depend on the shipment and border process. Agree the final scope and schedule before booking.
