How to Choose a Heavy Equipment Transporter


Mandatory Requirements before Transporting Heavy Equipment's •

Vehicle structures, systems, parts and components should be in proper working condition. None of these should be damaged or in a weak condition.

The equipment to be transported should be secured and immobilized through dunnage or dunnage bags, shoring bars, tiedowns, etc.

Certain heavy equipments need escort vehicles that accompany the truck in the front or back or sometimes in both places.

Besides basic insurance, the transporter is also required to provide information about the declared value coverage or a claim that explains about the worth of the equipment that is being carried.

Transporters carrying construction equipments should use their Motor Carrier Number. This number can be used to verify claims of the transporter about his safety records


What to Look For in a Heavy Equipment Transporter?

License: Licensed transporters should carry their MC and USDOT numbers. This number can be used to look up for information regarding the transporter with the Better Business Bureau and investigate his background.

Look for Feedback: There are several websites that serve by connecting heavy vehicle transporters to business shippers and consumers. These websites also include reviews about transporters and help you get an idea about the level of service that can be expected.

Timely Delivery: A shorter haul generally indicates less wear and tear of your equipments. But an overly short move could cast doubts on the transporter’s ability to transport safely.

Insurance: In the case of insurance, the damage claim ratio shouldn’t be less than 1.5%. Extra coverage can be sought from third party insurers or through the transporter.
