From Vision to Presence: Levaco Poland
With a few months already in Gdynia, Poland, our presence is steadily growing stronger.
What began as a strategic expansion has quickly evolved into a lively extension of the Levaco Logistic’s network. From day one, the team embraced the fast pace of the Baltic region, working closely with local partners, carriers, and port operators to ensure smooth coordination and reliable service.
Being located in Gdynia places us right at the heart of a key maritime gateway. It allows us to respond faster, stay closer to cargo flows, and better understand the specific needs of industries active in the region, from industrial goods to project shipments.
Beyond operations, what’s been most rewarding is the human side: new relationships, new collaborations, and a team that brings both local expertise and the Levaco mindset to every shipment.
Our presence in Poland isn’t just about expanding geographically but rather about strengthening connections and building long-term value for our clients across Europe.
Debunking Common Freight Shipping Myths
Freight shipping plays a central role in global trade, yet it’s surrounded by misconceptions that can lead businesses astray when planning and managing their logistics. Understanding the realities behind these myths helps companies make better decisions, optimise costs, and improve operational outcomes. According to Logistics Transportation Review Europe, several widely held beliefs about freight shipping don’t hold up under closer scrutiny.
One of the most persistent myths is that the cheapest freight quote is always the best option. While a low headline rate might look appealing, it can come with hidden fees, limited service quality, and risks like delays or damage that ultimately raise the total cost. Evaluating the overall value, including reliability and risk management is essential for choosing the right freight service.
Another misconception is that all freight carriers offer the same level of service. In practice, carriers differ significantly in their strengths, geographic coverage, and specialisations. Some excel in specific types of cargo, such as temperature-controlled or oversized freight, while others offer faster transit times or stronger customer support. Knowing these differences can improve shipment outcomes and reduce surprises.
There’s also a belief that freight shipping is inherently expensive, but this isn’t always true. Depending on shipment size, urgency, and mode, more cost-effective options like shared containers or less-than-truckload (LTL) services can be viable solutions that balance cost and service quality.
Understanding these realities helps businesses choose smarter, more reliable logistics solutions.
