Tips for Damage Free Shipping and Freight Savings
- Most carriers base your shipment on the first 12ft, maximize your shipment and keep it under and the savings will be great.
- Know the dimensions of your shipment and cube out to max on the height of the trailer.
- Frames and Beams move in transit, use steel banding when strapping together.
- Shipping wire decks and beams? Did you know Wire Decks ship Class 50? Frame and Beams class 65? More Savings.
- Make sure to check that your end user has a loading dock. Lift gates add to the cost of the shipment.
- Shipping Flatbed? Get rid of the pallets they can crush under tension from the straps when securing the load.
- Use good quality pallets.
- Pick the carriers carefully, you may have the lowest rate but, when it comes time for the carrier to deliver they may not be able to find a truck.
