START WITH THE RIGHT INFORMATION
Complex Freight Requires More Planning Moving oversized, overweight or specialized freight is different from booking a routine truckload. The freight itself is only part of the equation. Dimensions, weight, loading method, trailer configuration, route, permits, site access, delivery requirements and timing can all affect how a shipment should be handled. The more accurate the information available before transportation is arranged, the better prepared your logistics provider can be to evaluate equipment and transportation requirements. Use this toolkit when planning transportation for: • Industrial machinery
THE FIVE QUESTIONS TO ANSWER FIRST • Agricultural equipment • Construction equipment • Cranes and crane components • Manufacturing equipment • Generators and power equipment • Transformers and electrical equipment • Data center infrastructure • Aerospace components and support equipment • Mining equipment • Fabricated steel and structures • Tanks, vessels and large assemblies • Project cargo • Other large, heavy, high-value or difficult-to-handle freight Before requesting transportation, make sure you can answer: 1.Exactly what is moving? 2.What are its shipping dimensions and weight? 3.How will it be loaded and unloaded? 4.What are the pickup and delivery locations like? 5.When does it need to move and arrive?
The worksheets in this guide will help you organize those details.
