The air cargo market looks different now as planes have been stripped of seats and flown carrying all freight in formerly passenger aircraft. Rates will be volatile and you’ll need an advocate who can offer options and guidance for your cargo. Argents is the expert you need.
What was once thought of a languid ship drifting across the ocean has now become a headline grabbing industry.

Lean on our carrier connections, industry wide network of partners and decades of experience to protect your ocean cargo.
Project cargo can be daunting and worrisome for inexperienced shops but at Argents, we’re excited to see the solutions we can create to suit even the most time-sensitive, oversized, and complicated cargo. Do you need to shut down a street and get a crane? Argents knows a way!
Near-shoring options for cargo in Canada and Mexico will drive cross border cargo to new heights as more companies take advantage of the benefits of the USMCA. While that’s good for rates, it could lead to delays, unless you’re rolling with Argents. Our cross border agents are experts at the pitfalls and delays that can plague other carriers. We have a solution to suit your situation.
Argents operates strategically positioned hub offices, linked to all major domestic air, truck and rail carriers. Within the U.S., multimodal solutions bring carriers together to meet your exact needs and shipping requirements.
Remaining in constant contact with carriers electronically and telephonically provides the highest level of service in the industry. Argents communications to both you and your customers ensure all parties are kept apprised of shipment progress.
You don’t have to pay for space you aren’t using when you contact Argents for your less-than-truckload shipments. We’re able to consolidate your cargo with other shipments to increase efficiency and value while saving you time in transit.
While trucking used to be a simple industry, driver shortages, seasonal demands and trying to make up for airport and seaport delays have injected new levels of complexity. Regardless of equipment, time in transit or other special need for visibility or security, Argents has a plan to ensure you get the equipment you need on a schedule that fits.
The first and final mile of a transportation journey is where heroes are made and friendships are lost. Seeing your shipments to their destination is a critical part of what makes Argents stand shoulders above others. You can trust us to be there until the last drop is made.
Expedited freight is the service that separates Argents from competitors. Our trusted name and experience is working full-time in your corner to offer the shortest transit times for your budget. Whether you need team drivers or dedicated service, Argents can find you a solution to meet your timetable without breaking your budget.
