FTL space reservation
The first step in the organization of FTL transport is the reservation of space in the vehicle. This is a crucial moment that requires proper planning. It is worth consulting with an experienced carrier, who will help you choose the right type of vehicle and determine the optimal time for pickup and delivery.
Loading and unloading
Once the space is reserved, the loading stage follows. Here special attention should be paid to properly securing the goods to avoid possible damage during transport. Once the space arrives, the unloading process follows, which also requires proper attention and a professional approach.
Monitoring and tracking
A key element in FTL transportation is the ability to continuously monitor and track a shipment. Thanks to modern GPS technologies, both the shipper and the receiver have full insight into the current location of the vehicle and the estimated time of delivery. This increases the level of control over the transportation process.
