Safe Delivery
Safe delivery of your load is only one component of our job. Mitigation of your liability is our top
priority. The motoring public is (at best) complacent and impatient when driving, a dangerous
combination. Our team is skilled in risk analysis and minimizing these issues through
reoccurring training. Pre-trip job safety analysis and continued vigilance assures a safe delivery
and limits your liability. Every task we engage in during your move is documented for your
protection.
How We Work
When you contract with us you will supply a copy of your state permits, load details, delivery
location, and any additional instructions -- we do the rest. First we review the permit routes and
develop a GPS turn-by-turn tracking map. This map shows curfew areas, applicable truck stops
and Safe Havens to secure the load along the route when needed. When a route survey is
performed, data such as width, height, railroad crossings, turn radiuses, and other possible
issues and obstacles are noted. This map route is then loaded into the computer in our Pilot
truck. . During the move a real time audio/video digital recording with GPS and time stamp of
both the load and inside pilot truck is available when requested. Next a pre-trip meeting is held
with the load driver, where the permit measurements are verified. Route familiarization and
communications are discussed. Recommended safety checks are coordinated and any DOT
driver issues are gone over. Curfew requirements and efficient travel schedules are compiled to
minimize delays. There is a post trip meeting each day to discuss any changes or challenges
during that days progress. These details are documented and signed off on by all participants
with copies available for your records. Upon delivery at the destination a final post trip inspection
and synopsis is completed and made available to you.
