BUILD YOUR SHIPMENT PROFILE
Step 1: Identify Exactly What Is Moving Start with a clear description of the freight.
Avoid generalized descriptions such as: Machine, Equipment, Crane Parts, or Steel Structure Instead, provide enough information for a transportation professional to understand what is actually being moved.
