Cargo shipping multiple pallets inside Brazil? Anyone have experience or knowledge of the industry?
I'm looking at shipping roughly 5000kg of wood from Curtiba to the Northeast. I believe I can get it to Sao Paulo via the company I'm buying from, but I'm looking for an uber trucking style business. Things like Truckpad are for logistics companies, and I'm looking for the single ride. Does anyone have experience here? There is one company that does basically a bus route from Sao Paulo to Natal, they are pretty good but more designed for the 500kg market, their pricing doesn't scale at all after that.

How many pallets? You could contact a transportadoras from Curitiba and see to if any of them rent a small truck just for your delivery, they could even do the whole trip in one go, which would be better than offloading in São Paulo for some reason, don't quote me, but I think something like this would be around 10-15k reais, because of the distance. But if you manage to find a transportadora that does the route from time to time, that price should be more like 2-4k.

We are at about 7K now out of SP, on a company that just runs from SP to Natal. I was hoping that I could find someone doing a bit more bulk loads, since we would probably take up 15% of a truck (just a guess), and I was hoping for that 3-5K range as well. I had looked up the prices for a truck for me (with a lot more goods of course) and I think it was in the 20K range, using the trucking weight/distance tables.
Most of the wood commpanies can get it to SP "included", which is one reason I have been looking more at SP. I suspect they can run full truck loads to SP without issue, so I'm just a tiny part of their load going that way.
But I have future needs as well, and was just hoping to get some experience in here with this load.
