Provide accurate measurements and weight for your equipment so we can ensure it fits with the capacity of the truck capacity and avoid unexpected charges.
Mixed Deck Freight may have different shipping timelines compared to Full Truckload (FTL) services due to the consolidation of multiple shipments. When making your request provide your timeline requirements and shipping hours for pick-up and delivery.

Please ensure that you provide a detailed bill of lading that lists all items being shipped, including their names, description and serial numbers.

Your advisor is available to guide you on documentation requirements and can connect you with the appropriate customs partner if needed.
To facilitate a smooth and efficient loading process, please notify us if an accessible ramp is available. Although our trailers are typically self-loading, utilizing a ramp may be more effective based on the size of the equipment and the yard's layout. It is crucial for our customers to familiarize themselves with handling procedures upon arrival, including safe unloading practices. This may involve having a spotter present and ensuring a forklift or loader with adequate capacity to handle the weight of the items being unloaded.
