Freight transport from Valencia to Maracaibo
Over five hundred kilometres to the country's second city, with scheduled departures and delivery across the Zulia region.
- Approximate distance
- ≈ 520 km
- Estimated time on the road
- 7 to 9 hours
- Main road
- Autopista Centro-Occidental and Troncal 17 (Lara – Zulia)
- Frequency
- Scheduled departures, several times a week
Maracaibo is the great market of the west and the longest route on our western corridor: Valencia, Barquisimeto, Carora and Troncal 17 to the bridge over the lake.
It is a seven to nine hour trip, so we schedule departures to arrive during reception hours and avoid night driving on the stretches without services.
What we move on this route
- Full loads for distributors and chains in Maracaibo
- Equipment and spare parts for the oil and services industry on the eastern shore of the lake
- Consolidated finished goods for shops in the city and San Francisco
- Backhaul cargo from Zulia to the centre of the country
Deliveries in Maracaibo and the eastern shore
We serve Maracaibo, San Francisco and, with prior scheduling, Cabimas, Ciudad Ojeda and Lagunillas. For the eastern shore it pays to group cargo into a single weekly departure.
Zulia's climate demands packaging that withstands heat and humidity: we recommend stretch film and double-wall boxes, and we check it before loading.
Safety and tracking on the road
Long trips are made with drivers experienced on the route, planned stops and permanent GPS tracking from Valencia.
You receive the departure confirmation, the estimated arrival time and the signed proof of delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What our customers usually ask before hiring transportation or logistics in Venezuela.
How many days does a shipment from Valencia to Maracaibo take?
The trip takes seven to nine hours; with an early-morning departure the cargo is delivered the same day. Consolidated loads leave on the next scheduled date, usually within the same week.
Do you deliver in Cabimas or Ciudad Ojeda?
Yes, with prior scheduling. The eastern shore of the lake is served on weekly departures or as an extension of a trip to Maracaibo.
Is a full truck or consolidated cargo better?
If your cargo exceeds about six tonnes or ten pallets, a full truck is usually cheaper per kilo and travels direct. Below that, consolidation is more convenient.
