There's hot shot truck driving, which generally consists of delivering time-critical items over relatively short distances of 50-100 miles. And then there's long haul trucking, which is essentially the exact opposite, consisting of drivers transporting products, items or goods hundreds or perhaps even several thousands of miles across the country to their destination.
Like we said in the beginning, long haul trucking is an ideal expedited shipping process for large quantities of goods or items. Trucks travel hundreds or thousands of miles across the country to move goods from origin to their destination.
And this process alone helps describe one of the biggest benefits of long haul trucking — transportation of many items at once.
Unlike same day freight, air freight, expedited freight, hot shot freight or other expedited service providers, long haul trucking is a ground delivery service that delivers many of the same items.
It's an option where there's a desire for items to arrive to their destination within a time frame of just days.
Not all long haul trucking companies are created equal, so it's important to do your homework when it comes to selecting the right provider.
Here's a look at some of the things you want to be on the lookout for, and some of the areas that we excel in.
With an expansive network of operators and partners, we excel in moving items thousands of miles across North America from their origin to their destination and look forward to partnering with you on your next shipment.
Our advantages include:
- Experience and professionalism: Credibility is everything for a company when it comes to any offered service, let alone long haul trucking. That's where we come in. Not only are all of our drivers qualified, but they're also experienced experts in what they do and how they do it. That's an intangible that you can't overlook when you're searching for a long haul trucking provider to transport goods where they need to go.
- One point of contact: If you need to reach someone for a question about your shipment, will you be able to reach someone quickly that can help you? Or will you have to leave a message or get the runaround between several different people before your question is addressed? We're pleased to place all of our clients with a single point of contact for fast, easy communication should any questions or issues arise before, during and after a delivery. What's more is that our contacts are available at all hours of the day, every day of the week, 365 days a year. We understand how important it is to reach someone when there's a question or issue with a delivery — and we're always happy to help.
- Logistics backed: Truck drivers shouldn't be looking at maps of the fastest routes from origin to destination any longer. No, those days are long gone. Instead, any good trucking company should be anchored by a comprehensive logistics solution that helps truck drivers make educated decisions on routes and also helps customers track where shipments are in their journey. A good logistics platform can also play into the safety aspect of truck driving as well as provide more transparency between the trucking company and the customer. And in the event of a breakdown, a logistics platform will connect others in the trucking network for faster access to a solution.
