agree  Pierre POUSSIN

  -> Merci
neutral  Tony M: The trouble is, 'on' is weak, compared to 'we' (as distinct from anyone else); and this still misses out the clever play on words...

Faisons la route ensemble


Explanation:
Ou bien "nous ferons la route ensemble".
En gardant à l'esprit qu'il s'agit d'un slogan, que ma traduction n'est pas littérale et que j'ai bien compris qu'il s'agit de marchandises. Le but étant de dire qu'on sera là pour vous et vos marchandises pour les amener à bon port.

neutral  Tony M: Just sort of misses out the important notion of 'you're getting there', the sense of 'réussir' or 'mener à bien'; and while I like the implied partnership, it also hides the opposition of "We'll get you there [implying: our competitors won't!]"
9 mins
  -> Valid point, there's no "we" against "them" with this solution. I had a feeling that the most important was the idea that "you can rely on us to get there", not necessrily that the competition wouldn't get you there.
neutral  HERBET Abel: Une entreprise s'identifie à travers ses produits: vous c'est vos produits
49 mins
neutral  Daryo: in fact as it's about transporting goods, their clients are not "going" anywhere literally, only as a figure of speech.

  -> Cette expression peut s'utiliser au sens propre et au figuré également. Accompagner (au sens figuré) quelqu'un et l'aider dans les difficultés pour parvenir à un but.

we’ll get you there
Nous vous amenons à bon port


Explanation:
This reallly is not translation, but copywriting

Here is an example but for all I know it might bre some other company's motto.
Intellectual property issue can arise when translating stuff like this.

Nous vous amenons à bon port en toute sécurité, en évitant les embouteillages.

We'll get you to your destination without any traffic jams.
