Agent Support Model
Origin Agent and Destination Agent Support
International partners often need different types of support depending on whether the shipment starts in South Florida or delivers into South Florida. Forward Van Lines can help on either side of that shipment when the scope is clearly defined.
Origin agent support in South Florida.
As an origin partner, Forward Van Lines can help with pre-move surveys, service planning, packing, export preparation, crating coordination, building access, pickup, inventory support, warehouse handling, and communication with the booking agent or move coordinator.
This is especially useful when a partner books the customer but needs a trusted South Florida team to physically inspect, prepare, pack, or collect the shipment.
Destination agent support in South Florida.
As a destination partner, Forward Van Lines can help with receiving coordination, delivery planning, residence access, crew scheduling, unpacking support when requested, debris removal when included in scope, storage coordination, and final-mile customer communication.
The destination side often succeeds or fails on communication and timing. Our role is to help the partner deliver a clean customer experience while meeting local building and access requirements.

Partner Questions This Page Answers
What is the difference between origin agent and destination agent support?
Origin support handles the work near the shipment pickup point, such as survey, packing, crating, access planning, and pickup. Destination support handles the receiving and delivery side, such as scheduling, final delivery, storage coordination, unpacking support if included, and local customer communication.
Can Forward Van Lines support both origin and destination work?
Yes. The exact role depends on the shipment, partner requirements, service scope, and pre-negotiated terms. Some partners need full origin support, some need destination support, and some need a specific local service only.
How do partners avoid confusion over customer communication?
Communication rules should be agreed before service begins. Forward Van Lines can communicate through the partner, directly with the customer, or in a blended model depending on what protects the account relationship and keeps the shipment moving correctly.
