When Your Freight Carrier Doesn’t Show Up, Every Day Counts
A freight carrier cancellation can leave your equipment stranded, delay deliveries, and disrupt your business. At Preferred Equipment Transport, we know how important it is to get shipments moving again.
Imagine having four industrial tanks ready for shipment. Your transportation company picks up two and promises to return for the remaining two.
Five days later, those tanks are still sitting at your facility.
That’s exactly what happened to a manufacturer who contacted Preferred Equipment Transport, Inc. after another transportation provider failed to complete the job.
The owner was frustrated. He had customers waiting for their tanks, and the original carrier had repeatedly failed to follow through.
He needed someone who could get the job done.
We immediately started working on a solution. Within the next day or two, we arranged for a truck to arrive and pick up the remaining tanks.
That one shipment changed everything.
The manufacturer began giving us additional transportation business right away. What started as an emergency pickup developed into a long-term relationship, and today we coordinate transportation for that manufacturer across the United States.
When Other Carriers Let You Down, We Step In
At Preferred Equipment Transport, we understand that freight transportation isn’t always as simple as scheduling a truck.
Carriers cancel. Trucks break down. Pickup appointments get missed. Sometimes a transportation provider promises equipment that never arrives.
For manufacturers and businesses depending on timely deliveries, these problems can quickly become expensive.
Our job is to help you find a solution.
We work with qualified transportation carriers throughout the country to arrange shipments involving:
Industrial tanks and manufacturing equipment
Excavators, bulldozers, and construction machinery
Skid steers, forklifts, and other heavy equipment
20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers
Oversized and overweight machinery
Specialized freight requiring flatbeds, step decks, RGNs, and other equipment
Heavy Equipment Transportation Requires Experience
Not every trucking company has the equipment or experience necessary to transport heavy machinery safely.
Before arranging transportation, we evaluate the shipment’s dimensions, weight, loading requirements, pickup conditions, and destination.
For example, moving a shipping container that needs to be placed directly on the ground requires different equipment than transporting a loaded container between facilities.
Understanding these differences helps us match shipments with appropriately equipped carriers.
Building Long-Term Relationships With Manufacturers
Our goal isn’t simply to move one load.
We want manufacturers, equipment dealers, and commercial customers to know they have someone they can call when transportation becomes a problem.
The manufacturer whose tanks we rescued didn’t need another sales pitch. He needed a truck.
We delivered a solution, and the business relationship followed.
That’s the approach we bring to every transportation opportunity.
