From Point A to Point B

Understanding the network of highways that lead from point A to point B is important. Roads change every minute of every day. Weather, governmental restrictions, construction, seasonal and daily traffic are just a few of the events that can cause delays. Those delays affect travel time, can lead to unsafe driving practices, and drive up the cost of transporting freight. Quick Transfer USA guarantees that your freight gets where it needs to go safely, on time, and at a competitive price.

Share the Road

Safety is job one. It helps no one when trucks are delayed due to accidents. Knowing the highway system and how it changes helps keep drivers on time without creating unsafe driving conditions. Understanding what the best route is helps to ensure that prices remain competitive, that freight gets there on time and that the roads remain safe for all who use them.

Quick Transfer USA makes the commitment to know the highway system. That commitment is part of what sets Quick Transfer USA apart from competitors. By keeping our finger on the pulse of the major freight routes, we are able to overcome problems that slow other freight companies down. That is a benefit that we pass on to all of our customers.

Break it Down
You want to eliminate movable parts and isolate fragile pieces as much as possible. If your fragile shipment can be disassembled, break it down as much as possible. It’s easier to protect a single glass ornament in it’s own padded box than it is to protect that same piece attached to a piece of furniture, and in the event of an accident, you won’t damage everything.

Remember That It Needs to be Moved
Sometimes when damage-proofing fragile goods, it becomes inconvenient or cumbersome to actually move the item. Heavy padding may protect furniture from dings and scratches, but improperly arranged you’ll have nowhere for a comfortable grip. When an object becomes difficult to move, the odds of an ‘incident’ skyrocket.

Transportation Matters
All the careful packaging in the world can’t compensate for careless shipping. Tossing your valuable goods in a cramped trunk or loose in truck bed may not be the best way to get them where they’re going. Mailing is likewise a questionable option, but you can insure shipments to be sure

So take care how your goods are transported. That might mean putting a bit of care into shipping it yourself, or hiring a specialist company to handle your fragile goods. What best suits your needs will depend on what exactly you are moving–fine china is one thing, a grand piano another.

The key is being able to find a trucking services company that provides competitive pricing, timely service, and safety for all materials. However, for a business to have to look for a trucking company on its own, it can be a time consuming and daunting task. That’s where Quick Transfer USA comes in.
