Choosing the right haulage company is as important as choosing the right employee for your company. Most people make the mistake of choosing a haulage company from the local Yellow Pages listings because they feel that an entry here makes the haulage company reputable. Of course reputation is important, but a paid for entry in a directory should not be how you choose your haulage company. One of the most important parts of the fulfillment process is efficient haulage. The inability of customers to receive their orders in a timely fashion will create havoc for those customers and cause a company to lose business and thus potential profits as the customers move on to conduct their business with your competitors.
Choosing the right company to handle your haulage requires time and dedication. It is not something you can rush through or you will certainly choose the wrong transport company for your customers’ needs. There are several factors that you need to look into before you make a final decision: reputation of the company and the individual driver, recommendations by other companies, and finally how the pricing compares to other shipping companies providing the same or similar services. Never automatically go with the lowest price; look at the other factors first and only choose the lowest paid haulage company from among those who can provide quality service and prompt delivery.
You must also research the haulage company that you are considering. Use Google to get reviews of the company that you are considering, ask friends or colleagues in the industry for advice. How quickly can they deliver the goods? Are your employees experienced? Can you provide the correct documentation to ensure everything is being dealt with correctly? Large fines can be given to you if freight companies have transported goods without the correct paperwork – these are all important questions to ask when investing in a suitable company.
