Top Tips For Choosing a Transport Company 

Whether you are moving your family interstate or your business is growing and you are starting to send your products all around the country, choosing the right transport company is essential to making sure your goods are delivered safely and on time. 

Planning a move or sourcing the right transport company to support your growing business can be stressful, and there are lots of things to think about. For your peace of mind, find a company that is reliable, excellent at communicating and will deliver your goods in one piece.

Here are some of the most important things to consider.

The Transport Company’s Experience  

Reliability is often based on experience – the more time a transport company has been in business, the more they have learnt and the more sophisticated their systems and processes will be. 

Companies that have been in business for a long time will have good reputations and attract the most reliable staff. They’ve had time to invest in training, technology and infrastructure. 

Choosing a transport company with decades of experience means that your goods are in the best hands. 

Their Safety Record 

Your items are precious, whether they are gifts for family members or items you’ve sold online, you want them to arrive at their destination safely.   

How a company treats their staff and their assets – in this case, their trucks and vehicles – is a reflection of how they will treat your goods, so investigate their safety record when deciding which transport company to give your business to. 

Spend some time on their website and have a conversation with them to make sure they:

The Size of the Transport Company’s Fleet 

To meet the needs of their customers, transportation companies need two things; a reliable fleet and a reliable cohort of drivers and support staff. Numbers matter here, and while smaller companies might be less expensive, choosing a company with a large fleet of over 250 vehicles, or similar is worth the investment. The larger their fleet, the more experience the transport company will have and the safer your goods will be on their journey. 

Whoever you contact to get your things where they need to be, make sure that you’ve considered their experience, safety record and the number of vehicles they have supporting them – that way, you’ll know you’ve done your due diligence and can rest easy as you watch your things get loaded up and driven away.
