Dry Freight Trucking
At Great Western we have a team who will advise and recommend precisely which type of truck and / or trailer equipment that is best for your particular shipment. Trailer specifications and configurations are standard in the industry with vans measuring either 48’ L x 96”/102” W or 53‘ L x 102” W.
It is important to know the interior dimensions of a trailer to ensure that your shipment will fit properly. The following dry van illustrations will help you understand a few of the fundamentals.
Refrigerated Trucking
Don’t Trust Your Truckload and LTL Refrigerated Trucking Shipments to Just Anyone.
At Great Western Transportation, we understand there’s no margin for error when using Refrigerated Trucking in shipping your commodities – whether they are frozen, chilled or simply temperature controlled. We supply state-of-the-art Refrigerated Trucking trailers with experts in the field to provide you with the most reliable Refrigerated Trucking services available today. So whether you’re shipping a Less-than-Truckload (LTL) or a Full Truckload (FTL), go with people who know Refrigerated Trucking – Great Western Transportation.
The 53-foot trailers that we use provide maximum cube and bulkhead capability, so we can handle those mixed temperature shipments. Moreover, the air-ride suspension system cushions the ride so that your product arrives in the same condition it was when loaded. We can transport your goods at temperatures ranging from -20 to +90 degrees Fahrenheit, and hold them at the temperature you specify, and we do this anywhere in the Continental United States and Canada.
Flatbed Trucking
Don’t Trust Your Truckload and LTL Flatbed Trucking Shipments to Just Anyone.
Flatbed Trucking serves the needs of customers transporting special equipment or material that create loads which are wide, over length, over-sized, overweight, or any combination thereof but can still legally move on the road. A Flatbed Trucking service is ideal for construction sites or shipping points that have no available dock or require quick loading and unloading for projects on the move with time sensitive schedules.
At Great Western Transportation we specialize in Flatbed Trucking and make sure that your shipment has the right sized tarps and the proper tie downs for the job so that it will be protected and ready for use at its destination. With Flatbed Trucking there is a variety of trailer types that are designed to fit the many needs required by different shipments either based on size or how they need to be loaded. In addition, we can supply team service for any of your shipments that need to deliver as soon as possible for projects with minimal slack available in their schedule.
Great Western Transportation supplies Flatbed Trucking service through out the Continental United States and Canada on both a Less-than-Truckload (LTL) and Full Truckload (FTL) basis.
What should I do with my jewelry and other valuable items?
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
How do I prepare my appliances for moving?
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
