Since its birth, 30 years ago, Trans Air Cargo has held the belief that customer satisfaction is key to the success of the company. It is clear from the photos that attention to detail and care for the shipment is a CQR Bangkok priority.

No shipment too big for CQR Dubai

On June 10th this year, CQR Dubai was chosen to ship a hydraulic power pack unit and the genset from the JEA to Argentina. The highly trained Reliance team, well-experienced at handling complex jobs, put their heads together and came up with a tailor made plan to move these monsters!

Before any transporting could take place, CQR Dubai dismantled and divided the cargo into standardized transportable sizes and packed it into 2 x 40 OT + 1 x 20 OT + 1 x 20 DC. These were then shipped with Maersk line to Argentina. Once again Reliance Freight Systems has successfully shown itself to be living up to its own claim as the ‘one stop of total logistics solutions.’

The 1st Conqueror Annual Meeting was extremely well attended. In fact, for a first conference the number of delegates was outstanding. With 90 members in attendance taking part in 1600 one to ones, Conqueror far exceeded expectations. The three day conference in Phuket, May 2012 brought Conqueror’s members together for the first time and new relationships were formed and business done.

With delegates pledging to return next year, Conqueror’s 2nd Annual conference is bound to outdo its predecessor. For a taste of what a ‘Conqueror Annual Meeting’ is all about and to hear what our members thought, check out our video on youtube.

Virtual Multinational members meet in the flesh: Shanghai International Shipping Institute

An unprecedented number of delegates for a first conference, 90 in total from 40 countries, made the journey to Thailand. “Considering what other networks have managed at their initial conferences, this number is a great achievement,” said Antonio Torres, the brains behind this ‘one of a kind’ freight forwarding network.
This one off ‘Virtual Multinational’ is paving the way for a new generation of networks which want to mobilize independent freight forwarders to work together as global ‘mega-forwarders.’
This desire to join forces was evident at the conference as members vied for each other’s time across every aspect of the conference. “At the heart of Conqueror is mutual cooperation,” explained Torres. “Without it, the network simply would not function.” The 3-day conference provided over 1,600 one-to-one meetings to enable members to strengthen this cooperation.
“One perk of Conqueror’s focus on cooperation, is that all the members do business with a give and take attitude,” said one member. “This cooperation is made even easier by each of us being the only agent in our city which, of course, cuts out all competition. What’s left is a desire to work together.”

Independent and logistics operators meet: New Trans

Freight and logistics is of course by definition the ultimate multinational business and as technology advances executives globally are becoming aware of the potential of international cooperation without the need for thousands of miles of air travel to formulate trade agreements. It was with this thought in mind that Antonio Torres first came up with the idea of what he calls a ‘Virtual Multinational’ paving the way for what he considers a new generation of networks which want to mobilize independent freight forwarders to work together as global ‘mega-forwarders.’ Last week however the members of this brainchild travelled to Thailand to meet their mutual partners in the flesh at the inaugural conference of Conqueror which Mr Torres says is the world’s first virtual freight network. Ninety members from forty different countries met in Phuket from the 23rd to 25th May as part of Conqueror’s target of setting up an exclusive ‘virtual branch’ in each of the 472 major cities in the 175 countries it has identified.
