<strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Choose</strong> a <strong>Heavy</strong><br />
<strong>Equipment</strong> <strong>Transporter</strong>
Manda<strong>to</strong>ry Requirements before Transporting<br />
<strong>Heavy</strong> <strong>Equipment</strong>'s<br />
• Vehicle structures, systems, parts and components should be in<br />
proper working condition. None of these should be damaged<br />
or in a weak condition.<br />
• The equipment <strong>to</strong> be transported should be secured and<br />
immobilized through dunnage or dunnage bags, shoring bars,<br />
tiedowns, etc.<br />
• Certain heavy equipments need escort vehicles that<br />
accompany the truck in the front or back or sometimes in both<br />
places.<br />
• Besides basic insurance, the transporter is also required <strong>to</strong><br />
provide information about the declared value coverage or a<br />
claim that explains about the worth of the equipment that is<br />
being carried.<br />
• <strong>Transporter</strong>s carrying construction equipments should use<br />
their Mo<strong>to</strong>r Carrier Number. This number can be used <strong>to</strong> verify<br />
claims of the transporter about his safety records
What <strong>to</strong> Look For in a <strong>Heavy</strong> <strong>Equipment</strong> <strong>Transporter</strong>?<br />
• License: Licensed transporters should carry their MC and USDOT<br />
numbers. This number can be used <strong>to</strong> look up for information<br />
regarding the transporter with the Better Business Bureau and<br />
investigate his background.<br />
• Look for Feedback: There are several websites that serve by<br />
connecting heavy vehicle transporters <strong>to</strong> business shippers and<br />
consumers. These websites also include reviews about<br />
transporters and help you get an idea about the level of service<br />
that can be expected.<br />
• Timely Delivery: A shorter haul generally indicates less wear and<br />
tear of your equipments. But an overly short move could cast<br />
doubts on the transporter’s ability <strong>to</strong> transport safely.<br />
• Insurance: In the case of insurance, the damage claim ratio<br />
shouldn’t be less than 1.5%. Extra coverage can be sought from<br />
third party insurers or through the transporter.
