Trucking Companies And The Vehicles They Offer

By David L. Summitt


The most common and affordable way to transfer goods is by using the services of trucking companies. There are many firms that can dispatch and move your products. You should compare prices, reliability and the kind of trucks they use to transport goods from the main source to various locations across the country.

It is also important to consider the type of truck that will be used to transport your products. Different kinds of vehicles have specific limitations and specifications that may not be ideal for use to move your goods. Being knowledgeable in the various truck models will let you know which one can get your things to the destinations undamaged.

A common vehicle used by many businesses to move product is the Less than Truck Load type of truck. This is more commonly known as an LTL. It can carry 8,000 pounds worth of goods. It is inexpensive to use and quite reliable. Most couriers use LTLs to ship things all over the country.

The TL on the other hand can get your products to the destination faster than any other vehicle. Truck Load vehicles weigh about 8,000 lbs and usually take up the majority of the space in a tractor trailer. Typically, this type of truck will pick up your items and directly transport them to the destination in one trip.

If your products are fragile and breakable, you must seriously consider using an Air Truck that feels like you are gliding on air as it moves. This kind of trailer offers a very smooth ride. Making use of this type of vehicle will ensure that your items will arrive at the destination whole and safe.

Other types of vehicles that trucking companies may have are dry vans, tankers, and flatbeds. Consider the purpose of the vehicles and which items they are ideal for. Some trucks can also come with refrigeration for fresh ingredients and foodstuff which are used by food processing and restaurant businesses.
