Why businesses and individuals book Maxmove instead of Cargoboard: an instant price, a dedicated vehicle without reloading, live tracking and digital proof of delivery.
Time-critical, valuable or bulky shipments that should travel directly in a suitable vehicle without reloading — the same day or at a chosen time.
Digital freight forwarder for parcels, groupage, pallets, LTL, FTL and courier or direct drives.
Deliberately written from Maxmove’s perspective; statements about Cargoboard remain verifiable through primary sources.
If you are looking for a Cargoboard alternative because a pallet in the network arrives too slowly or too unpredictably, Maxmove is the better way to book within North Rhine-Westphalia: a dedicated vehicle without depot reloading, pickup the same day or at a chosen time, an instant price before booking, live tracking and digital proof of delivery.
According to the vendor, Cargoboard is a digital forwarder for commercial customers only: groupage and pallets travel consolidated with standard transit times in working days, and direct drives collect the day after tomorrow at the earliest. Maxmove runs every shipment in NRW directly in one vehicle — without reloading, the same day or at a chosen time, with live tracking and digital proof.
