Reliable DFW Equipment Transportation
Dallas Fort Worth is home to dozens of industries and multiple Fortune 500 companies. One of our largest industries is manufacturing. The DFW manufacturing industry makes up 16.1% of our North Texas economy. It ranks second, falling only behind the financial/real estate sector.
To keep it simple- manufacturing is booming in Dallas Fort Worth.
But behind every great success are many smaller pieces linked together to make the entire process work. The supply chain. There is perhaps no greater need for a solid supply chain than with the manufacturing industry.
Here at Eagle Express, we’re proud to be a vital link in the supply chain of many different manufacturing firms. From technology to aerospace to automotive, all types of DFW manufacturing companies require the assistance of a courier like Eagle. Specifically, companies like these need a courier to move equipment. Heavy, oversized, important machinery.
Whether it’s a wing from a stealth fighter jet or a massive rotor for an assembly line, couriers utilize straight trucks, box trucks, and flatbeds to get the job done.
It’s not a question that manufacturing firms require a third party to move such oversized items, but the question that does arise is this: Which courier to select?
We’ll give you a small checklist to help make that decision:
Availability-
Manufacturing supply chains work 24/7. So should your courier. If a pice of machinery breaks in the middle of the night, organizations can’t afford to wait until morning to move the item to a repair facility. Instead, find a courier that offers 24/7 availability. With a wide range of vehicles available day and night, a 24/7 DFW courier can get you back to work faster.
Training and certification-
Verify the training and certification of the delivery drivers who are transporting your oversized manufacturing items. They should have the basic requirements, such as a commercial driver’s license. They should also be familiar with their truck, including how to operate the lift, procedures for loading and unloading items, and how to properly balance the load. If you’re unsure, just ask. The right courier will offer verification to provide peace of mind to clients requesting DFW equipment deliveries.
Insurance-
The last piece of advice, but certainly one of the most important, is to find out what types of insurance your transportation provider carries. Some of the manufacturing companies in DFW are moving multimillion dollar parts. One false step could have massive implications. A good courier trains and performs to avoid accidents, but a great courier is prepared should an unforeseen event occur. Your DFW equipment deliveries team needs to carry a full suite of insurance from A rated providers. This protects the courier, the clients, and the cargo.
