Have you noticed that your profits dip in the winter due to transportation issues related to extreme storms? When you are considering making an improvement with your shipping and receiving during the cold, icy months of the year, outsourcing flatbed trucking fleet services might be your best solution. This is especially true if you are often netting your biggest profits during the winter holiday season. To learn more about the unique advantages of hiring a truck fleet, keep reading.
When you can no longer rely on commercial delivery services
Have you lost profits or missed deadlines because the commercial shipping service you use will not come to pick up your boxes? Shipping services are often crippled during snowy weather, and the first sacrifices they make are big pickups at your business. Instead of waiting for the order to get picked up so it can be deposited at the airport, an outsourced trucking fleet can take care of this aspect of your daily procedures.
How outsourced trucking fleets work
When you order services for a truck fleet, we pay attention to the reasons you need professional trucks and drivers at your fingertips. One of the first questions we will ask you is what types of items you plan to transport. This will let us know if you need refrigerated trucks or another specialized type of trailer hooked up to a traditional big rig truck. The next step is to figure out how far the trucks need to go. Once we have our parameters, the final step is the frequency of services you will need. When we have all of our information, we can give you a quote for our services.
Types of customers that need fleets of trucks in winter
Although there are many businesses that access our services, there are other reasons a large fleet of trucks is needed temporarily in the winter. For example, winter is also the season of giving, and there are multiple community agencies that need big rig trucks to distribute holiday gift baskets. There are also special events such as theater productions that need materials transported for each performance. Regardless, most of our customers are businesses of the commercial and industrial nature. This means that when everyone else goes on vacation, we are called in to handle the diversity of big rig transportation needs at warehouses, factories, and retail stores.
Types of jobs we are known for
In many cases, there are needs for a basic big rig truck that does not have any stability or temperature control. Alternatively, our company has the capacity for specialized transport that involves bulk liquids, refrigeration, foliage consolidation (live plant) transfer, and hazardous chemicals. In other words, if you need a large fleet, Greater Western Transportation has the big rig solutions you have been looking for. Instead of spending money to hire your own drivers, buy trucks and deal with the related maintenance, consider the advantage of professional services.
