If you think choosing the right drayage partner to move your shipments short distances is all about finding the lowest price, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Sure, price matters, but there are so many other considerations that need to be made if you truly want to find the best fit for your company. Here are 3 important things you need to find out when choosing a drayage partner:
- Their drivers’ credentials — Safety matters. The best drayage providers will have trained, certified drivers in accordance with local and federal regulations.
- Their delivery history — You need to choose a drayage partner with a proven track record of delivering shipments quickly and on time. Remember, in many ways, your drayage partner represents your company, and if they don’t handle your shipments properly, you could lose customers.
- Their capabilities — What areas do they service? How many loads can they handle? What types of goods can they accommodate? These are all things you need to know so you can select a drayage partner that will be able to cover your needs now and in the future.
