A Checklist of Trucking Considerations

A Checklist of Trucking Considerations

• Ensure Truck/ Ferry Schedule/ Airline Schedule/ Ocean Freight Scheduling

compatibility (ie- all lined up and ready to move with minimal wait times)

• Carrier is authorized to move goods to destination (ie meets all provincial/ interstate

licensing and regulatory requirements)

• Highway regulations will allow shipment to move along desired routing (ie no

bridge restrictions, weight/ height restrictions along proposed route)

• All required equipment is available for loading, offloading, etc. and is scheduled

to be available as required along the route.

• Trucking company image reflects my company's image (ie My consignee will

receive an acceptable level of service from this trucking company upon arrival of

the goods at their destination?)

• Investigate all international highway requirements for ocean freight or airfreight

being forwarded to ultimate destination by trucking company
