Our Story
In 2009, our founders were running logistics for a mid-size electronics importer, refreshing three different carrier portals and a spreadsheet just to answer one question: where is the shipment right now?
DPD Cargo Express started as the tool we wished existed — a single place to book, document and track freight, regardless of which carrier or mode was actually moving it. Seventeen years later, that's still the whole idea, just applied to ocean, air, road, rail, warehousing and customs at once.
Make freight visibility a default, not a premium feature.
A global freight network where every shipper knows exactly where their freight stands.
Core Values
An estimated delivery date is a commitment, not a guess we hedge in fine print.
Every account has a named coordinator who answers the phone and knows the lane.
We show carbon and cost tradeoffs together, not cost alone.
Pre-clearance and proactive monitoring exist to catch problems before they cost you a deadline.
Seventeen Years
2009
Started as a two-person ocean freight forwarder working a single Rotterdam–Shanghai lane.
2013
Added scheduled and charter air service after clients kept asking for a faster option on the same platform.
2016
Replaced carrier-by-carrier status calls with a single dashboard — the foundation of what we run today.
2019
Built out regional trucking and intermodal rail to cover inland freight without a second vendor.
2022
Brought licensed brokerage in-house after one too many third-party delays at the border.
2026
Today's footprint: four modes, one manifest, and a coordinator behind every account.
