What Not to Do When Hiring a Trucking Company
It can be tempting to save money by hiring a small trucking company to haul your household goods instead of hiring a line haul trucking company. Although a small trucking company may save you money, it’s also important to remember that they’re not always the best choice! Below are 3 of the mistakes people make when hiring a trucking company, and how to avoid them! Let a trucking company help you instead.
Not asking about their experience
It’s important to ask about a trucking company’s experience out loud and make sure that the person you’re talking to knows that you’re doing your research. You should also ask them about their length of experience in the industry and which companies they’ve partnered with in the past. You should also ask about their length of experience and which companies they’ve partnered with in the past. It’s also best to ask about the companies that they’ve partnered with in the past and make sure that the trucking company has a relationship with the company that you’ll be working with.
Choosing a truck based on their size
Truck size isn’t as important as you may think! A line haul trucking company can haul your belongings in any size truck you want. If you’re given the choice between a 40-foot and a 20-foot truck, you’ll want to choose the 40-foot truck. 40 feet of capacity is the industry standard, and it’s the smallest size that can still haul an entire house! The length of the truck that you choose is based on how many trips are needed to transport all of your belongings. If you only have a few pieces of furniture and other light objects, you can transport them in a small truck.
Choosing a truck based on their ‘looks’
One way to tell if a trucker is trustworthy is to ask about the truck that they’ll be hauling your belongings in. If the trucker isn’t using their own truck, they’ll often have to rent one. If they can’t afford to buy their own truck, they’ll often rent one that doesn’t match the rest of their fleet.
