THE PROCESS OF SHIPPING FREIGHT IN SOUTH DAKOTA STEP BY STEP
1. Prepare and Package Freight: Measure, weigh, and evaluate the goods you're shipping to determine the right packaging and transportation method. In addition, appropriate packaging (boxes, crates, pallets) should be used to protect the goods from damage during transit. Ensure the items are secured properly with straps or stretch wrap and label properly.
2. Choose a Freight Carrier: You should select a freight broker based on the freight type, budget, and needs. At Nationwide Transport Services, we offer free, accurate estimates and the best fully insured services to meet your requirements.
3. Schedule Pickup and Provide Documentation: Book with the chosen carrier to arrange for a pickup at your location or drop-off at the nearest freight terminal. When you choose us, your shipment is handled by a dedicated expert, whom you can contact anytime for updates. They will coordinate everything on your behalf, including the trailer or truck to be used.
4. Transport the Freight: When the team arrives at the pick-up location, they must inspect your load and fill out a bill of lading form. They then load your shipment using the selected mode of transport before heading for the final location provided. The expert assigned to your shipment is always a call or text away to address any issues.
5. Delivery and Receipt: Upon arrival at the destination, the freight will be unloaded and delivered to the recipient or designated warehouse. Inspect the goods for any damage or discrepancies compared to the bill of lading form filled out during pick up. If everything is in order, sign the delivery receipt and finalize the transaction. If there are issues, file a claim with our finance department.
