Currently, transport companies provide a fairly wide range of services: cargo transportation, moving, cargo taxi. By contacting professionals, you save your time and money. However, when choosing a transport company, be careful: there are often unscrupulous organizations among them.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that it is better to contact an official carrier, and not a “private owner” who has 1-2 cars at his disposal. Of course, there are entrepreneurs who fulfill their duties in good faith. But, nevertheless, you run the risk, since the "private trader" is not responsible for your cargo, therefore, if it is damaged, it will not compensate you for damage. In addition, he does not enter into a formal contract with the client, so the conditions of carriage can change dramatically. Think carefully before contacting an unofficial carrier. It is possible that your losses will exceed the apparent savings.
Step 2
Apply for cargo transportation and moving services only to an official transport company. They, as a rule, provide services not only for the delivery of goods, but also for loading, unloading, insurance, packaging. A serious transport company, in order not to lose a client, necessarily includes cargo insurance in the cost of transportation. It is better not to save on insurance: in some cases it is not superfluous.
Step 3
Pay attention to the technical devices in the transport company that allow you to track the movement of goods. Due to the high cost of such equipment, new companies rarely use it. But even with them, find out if you can entrust your cargo to a security guard or a forwarder, of course, for an additional fee.
Step 4
When choosing a transport company, consider its experience in the field of cargo transportation. Those firms that have been operating for many years, own a large fleet of vehicles for the transportation of various types of goods, have significantly increased their capital and invested it in business development, undoubtedly deserve more confidence.
Step 5
Pay attention to the work of the company's dispatchers. In a good company, they will talk to you politely and for a long time, state all the information you are interested in, answer your questions. If the dispatcher does not meet these requirements, then, most likely, the company approached the selection of personnel irresponsibly, perhaps it also applies to work.
