Prepare the transport of machinery or a container

Load, route, access and responsibilities: the data needed for a usable quotation.

01

Describe the load accurately

The load type must be completed by its weight, dimensions, condition, declared value and available loading and unloading resources.

02

Qualify the route

  • precise origin and destination;
  • access conditions and height or width constraints;
  • collection date and delivery window;
  • border crossing or special formalities;
  • escort, crane or handling requirements.
03

Allocate responsibilities

The quotation should make clear who prepares documents, loads, secures, insures, handles formalities, unloads and confirms handover.

04

Why prices vary

Vehicle type, return-load availability, formalities, waiting time and site conditions can materially change the final cost.
