Also we want to make sure our cargo will get from A to B without any damage, that’s the whole point of transportation companies. Simple, yet there is not enough attention on the safety equipment as there should be.
There are some crucial points in the transportation business to keep in mind when acquiring a car hauler.
The situation today on the roads of the USA
This is a picture of a typical loading of trucks as seen on US-streets. This seems us as a quite complicated way of loading and transporting heavy duty vehicles. There is a lot of wasted time to load and unload tha hauler. There are only a few weak connection points between the load and the hauler. Such heavy load should not be the responsibilty of a few bolts and the drivers mood. Also a fork lift is needed to load the cargo, which you can not carry with you – so with problems on the road it can come to difficult situations.
