Yes, Maersk Ground Freight can support a phased transition from an existing carrier, depending on shipment profile, geography, and operational readiness. Expansion works best when the initial launch includes clear SOPs, reporting expectations, and performance review checkpoints, so additional lanes or regions can be added smoothly.
Transition planning typically includes:
- Lane prioritization
- Pilot launches in selected regions
- Volume ramp-up planning
- Operational performance review
Maersk supports the transition to its network and coordinates operational setup, but shippers need to provide accurate shipment data, internal contacts, billing details, service requirements, and IT participation where integrations/reporting are needed. Transition structure is determined during onboarding discussions to minimize service disruption. Expansion timing and commercial terms should be confirmed during the sales/onboarding process.
