Bus/Financial - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Service which logistics company provides to Switzerland
Dutch term or phrase: Autolijndienst Zwitserland
This is a title for a section of a company website. Other sections have included things like warehousing, freight forwarding and customs. This section mentions the specific difficulties of forwarding freight to Switzerland like the strict standards and toll charges. I think that the title really just refers to the freight service the company can offer to Switzerland. Later in the same paragraph it is stated that the service is offered for "zowel groupage als complete partijen". I am really at a bit of a loss here. I couldn't find much information about it on the internet. There were one or two sites which referred to cars being transported by certain companies. However these seemed to be automatically translated and very unreliable sources. I really want confirmation that Autolijndienst means what I think it does (freight forwarding service). Whether I am right or not, I will be very grateful for your suggestions.
