PROJECT CARGO
Our Project & Energy Services team offers unique solutions for oversized and heavy-lift freight.
While a massive or heavy load, such as a press or an earthmover, presents a special set of challenges, it still has one thing in common with every other piece of cargo: it needs to get there.
Project & Energy Services gets it done with integrated logistics project management, a creative and customized transport plan and a network of strategically placed oversize freight specialists to supervise the move every step of the way. Project & Energy Services experts also work to ensure that the most appropriate routing and modes of transport are used while helping you understand every aspect of your transportation costs. Size, weight, and complexity are challenges we conquer every day.
Once you have compiled a list of movers, inform them of the destination and timing of your
move. Ask them about the types of services they offer. Also ask them to explain their
estimates in detail and to give you a copy. If any company refuses to give you a written
estimate, you should eliminate them from consideration. Then carefully compare to see which
mover best suits your needs and budget.
The cost of your move will be based on the actual weight of your belongings and the distance
they are shipped, plus the amount of packing and other services that you require.
To help you anticipate the cost of your move, movers will give you an estimate of the price.
Be sure to get written estimates from at least 3 different movers so that you can compare
their services and prices.
Local (intrastate) moves are generally based on a per-hour cost for the personnel and
the number of vehicles that the mover provides (up to a certain distance, with longer
distances based on the weight of your shipment and the mileage it is transported) and the
level of liability that the mover will cover in the event of loss or damage is generally
less than would apply for an interstate move.
