Where we serve in Monte Plata
The main towns are Monte Plata, Bayaguana, Yamasá, Sabana Grande de Boyá and Peralvillo, reached by road from Santo Domingo and linked to the east and the Cibao by regional highways. We deliver to each of them and to the rural communities in between.
Ports and airports for Monte Plata
Ocean cargo normally arrives at Caucedo or Haina and travels inland by truck, and air cargo comes through Las Américas (SDQ). Because the province is close to Greater Santo Domingo, most of the trip happens on the port side of the route, and the last miles on rural roads are where we plan the truck and the timing carefully.
The local economy and what moves through Monte Plata
Livestock and dairy farming, cacao, fruit and root crops make up most of the local economy, with some processing and commerce in the main towns and a growing demand for building materials as residential projects spread outward from the capital.
Importing to Monte Plata from anywhere in the world
Farmers import equipment, fencing, tools and supplies, builders bring materials and fixtures, and families receive barrels, boxes and vehicles. We deliver to Monte Plata, Bayaguana, Yamasá and the rural communities, coordinating access when roads are narrow.
Exporting from Monte Plata to the world
Cacao, fruit and other farm products can be collected from the farm or a collection point and booked through Caucedo or Haina. We help with the commercial invoice, the export declaration and certificates such as phytosanitary or organic papers when the buyer asks for them.
Pickup and delivery across Monte Plata
Monte Plata is close to Santo Domingo on the map, but many of its roads are secondary roads, and rain can slow the rural stretches. A cattle farm near Bayaguana, a house in Yamasá and a shop in Sabana Grande de Boyá are all reached differently. We ask for exact directions and a local phone number before dispatch, and we plan trucks by the road they have to take, not by the distance from the capital.
More on freight in Monte Plata
Because Monte Plata sits so close to the capital, some customers combine their shipment with cargo for Santo Domingo to make the trucking more efficient. We can look at that option when it fits the timing, and we will tell you plainly if a separate truck makes more sense for your load.
Getting your Monte Plata shipment ready
Farmers and dairy producers should send the invoice, packing list and equipment dimensions early, and tell us who receives and unloads at the farm. Builders working on residential projects should give us the site location and the hours when the truck can enter. If you export cacao or other farm goods, talk to your buyer about quality and packaging first, so we can pack and book the shipment to match.

What affects your price
Every shipment is priced on its own details. These are the factors a freight agent looks at when preparing your quote.
Estimate volume and weightMode of transport
Ocean (LCL or FCL), air or RORO. Air is fastest; ocean is usually the most economical for heavy or bulky cargo.
Volume and weight
Ocean freight is mostly priced by volume (CBM); air freight by actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater.
Origin and destination
The ports or airports involved, the distance, and current carrier schedules and surcharges on that lane.
Container type
A 20', 40', 40' high cube, reefer, flat-rack or open-top container each has its own cost.
Customs clearance
Duties and taxes are set by the authorities, not by us, and depend on the goods, their value and their classification.
Cargo insurance
Optional coverage is based on the declared value of your goods.
Pickup and door delivery
Collecting at your door or delivering to an address adds trucking, compared with port-to-port or drop-off.
