13 Jul 2010 | Auto Shipping Tip of the Day |
Anthother extremely hot week in the United States and the Transportation industry is suffering for it. That's right I mean suffering. How you ask... Simple-- Hot weather means hot roads, and hot roads mean more Blow Outs of huge tires. This weather is costing the transport industry more money every day, and in turn it cost the consumer more money. Someone has to help pay for this. The transport industry can't afford to operate at a consistent loss. Wheather you are a bell wheather company in the transport industry of just a 1 truck company, costs are going up. This heat is never good. Trucks work harder in the heat and it costs more in fuel and maintenance. Worst of all the heat makes you sweat, and you get drivers that need to either shower or change more often. Otherwise you get a smelly car at delivery.... Yes I said it first, sweat equals smelly and that stench is put into your car. Did you ever get that nasty smell in your car that you just can't get out? Well thats the smell you get from a smelly driver. They can't help it. It's not their fault... Why not you ask? Simple answer... They are underpaid by most brokers so they can't afford to shower.. Not so funny this time, But it's their own fault for taking that cheap freight all the time, when they could have just been working in a fast food joint for minimum wage in the air conditioning making the same money. So again We here at http://www.Dealerschoiceautotransport.com have to say the same thing we always do to our clients and that is, pay the fair market rate and get the right service. Now that doesn't mean a car won't be late or damaged, but it does mean you will have the right transport company behind you to make sure the repair is paid for and a possible discount is given in case the car is delayed. Yes I did say it's only possible. The reason is you never know what can happen on the road. Flat tires, Breakdowns, a customer is not home to take delivery of their car (transporters never like that, I can tell you it might cost you the customer more for their time) but thats another subject. There are so many variables out there. If its a reasonable excuse and they can prove a repair then a discount wouldn't be given. It's not the transport companies fault. As they say S!@# Happens. That uncontrolable.
So the tip of the day is--- Keep your car with as little items inside to avoid the extra weight on the trailor. It's hot out there.. Hot roads equals tire blow outs, and that means delays. So lets help the transporters and you the customer by trying to keep the cars as light as possible in this rediculous HEAT. It only cost everyone time and money.
