What we need to know when shipping a container?
- We will need to know where the container will be picked up from and where it is headed.
- We will need to know the time frame in which you will need the container transported.
- We will need the dimensions of the container. This will determine the size of the trailer that will be needed. Knowing the length of the container, lets us know if we can save you money and piece it together with a conjoining job.
- Do you have loading and off loading? Since a container does not have wheels, it will have to be loaded and off loaded some way. This is something that we will have to consider when scheduling your transport. If you don’t have loading and off loading, there are two ways we can get the job done. We hire one of our trailers with a tilt bed or we hire a flatbed and then a wrecker to meet the carrier to load and one to meet on delivery. With the ports all using tilt bed trailers to load and off load, there is a shortage of trailers for containers, so if you in a hurry then we utilize our second option of hiring a flatbed and wrecker to load and off load, with 15 years experience majority of companies don’t even know how to do this.
- Is the container empty or are there contents inside of it? The weight of the container being transported is important, so if there are contents inside it is important that we know it. We will need some description of the items inside and an estimated weight of the container with the items inside. Under twenty thousand pounds we will need a Hotshot trailer, over twenty thousand pounds, we’ll have to hire a step deck trailer. When you get over dimension loads, meaning width over 8.6 and weight forty thousand or more, then we will need a removable gooseneck trailer or double drop trailer.
