Rest assured, you are not alone – LTL shipping has caused many sleepless nights for all types of business owners. Hiring a company that is new on the shipping scene may have seemed like a good idea at the time because they were cheap, but now you are lying awake, staring at the ceiling and being haunted by questions like: Did I hire the right carrier? Is my truck freight safe? Will it arrive on time and intact? What if there is a breakdown? What if the handlers loading and unloading my freight are careless? What if…?
You don’t need this kind of stress. You need to focus your energy on all the other aspects of running your business. You can’t afford to worry about deliveries on top of everything else and you shouldn’t have to. What you need is an experienced logistics company that knows everything there is to know about LTL shipping.
By hiring an experienced service provider, you’ll be able to rest easy with the knowledge that delivery deadlines will be met and that your product will reach your clients in perfect condition. Here are the reasons why:
- Well-trained handlers will be loading and unloading your freight.
- The right type of vehicle will be used to transport your freight and only properly licensed and reliable drivers will do the driving.
- A professional mechanic will be on 24-hour standby in case of a breakdown and if the problem can’t be fixed in time a backup vehicle will be sent.
These are guarantees that can only be delivered by an experienced logistics company that knows how important reliable LTL shipping is. The new kids on the block that you hire on your own are likely to make a lot of promises that they don’t have the capacity or experience to keep, will be unable to take unforeseen circumstances into account and then make a lot of excuses when something goes wrong.
So, for the sake of a good night’s rest and general peace of mind, rather hire an experienced logistics company like National Quality Logistics that knows all about LTL shipping. For more information, contact us today.
