Choosing the Tractor Trailer for your Freight
Monday, November 24th, 2014When choosing the right tractor trailer for your freight shipment, you may want to ask, “What are my tractor trailer options?” and “how do I know this is the best option for my freight shipment?” These are good questions, but when choosing a tractor-trailer you should also take things like budget, timeline, and what you’re shipping into consideration.
Let’s say you’re transporting cars, for example. If you’re transporting high-end cars, you may want to choose an enclosed car transport over open transport for greater protection. An open transport means the car sits on an open trailer pulled by a car or truck.
If you’re transporting multiple cars, you’ll want to look into multi-car, double-level tractor-trailers. These are technically open transport tractor-trailers, but they allow you to carry more cars over more distance. However, they also have their downfall. Because they are carrying such a large load, these tractor-trailers are slower and can’t navigate well in residential areas.
If you’re looking for a faster option, look into one-level multi-car trailers. These trailers can carry about 2 or 3 cars at a time, and although they are more expensive, the driver can easily navigate through all needed areas.
Before you choose just any tractor-trailer for your freight, be sure to do your research. Ask yourself the questions mentioned above, and see what your needs and wants are for your freight shipment. If you have questions about choosing a tractor-trailer for your freight, contact Evan Transportation.

How to Ship Freight
Monday, September 15th, 2014When whatever you’re shipping is too large in quantity, size, or weight to be handled by the postal service, your best option for getting it from one place to another is using freight. Freight carriers specialize in shipping anything heavier than 100 lbs, or anything that would take up too much room in a standard delivery vehicle. Freight can be shipped by land, air, rail, sea or any combination of the aforementioned.
When shipping over 8000 lbs of goods, you can typically either ship it in a dedicated container or in several smaller shipments containing other loads. Shipping in smaller groups is typically cheaper but actual price depends on what you’re shipping and how.
If the items you are shipping are fragile it’s your responsibility to take proper precautions and make sure your items are adequately protected. Everything should be appropriately boxed, crated, or packed, to ensure item safety. Packages should all be labeled and addressed and positioned at truck bed level for pick up, about 3-4 ft off the ground. If you cannot lift heavy items to this level, consider reserving a truck with a hydraulic gate.
It’s also important to remember that truck drivers are almost always paid exclusively to do only that: drive. However, most drivers with respectable companies will be glad to help you lift or load smaller packages onto their truck. Still, it is the responsibility of the shipping and receiving party to have hands available to help load or unload freight, especially if it’s something that cannot be easily moved by one person.
