How to Move Household Goods Using a Truck Shipping Company

Truck shipping companies offer transport services to manufacturers of goods and products. These companies make both short distance and cross-country deliveries. Fees for these services vary by truck shipping company. For the most part, charges are calculated based on mileage and weight of loads.

How to Move Household Goods Using a Truck Shipping Company:

Step 1: Determine the amount, size, and type of transport trucks you need. When shipping household goods, they are placed on pallets after packaging. The number of transport trucks you need is determined by the number of pallets you are shipping. The size and type of transport trucks you need is determined by the size and weight of the pallets.

Step 2: Select a truck shipping company. Locate a truck shipping company that is convenient to the location of the household goods you are shipping. Two options for locating this information are
MerchantCircle and YellowPages.

Step 3: Create documentation for your shipments. You need a printout for the truck shipping company of all deliveries. Create a record for each shipment. This record should include: recipient, address, telephone number, contact, and a list of the household goods shipped. The transport truck driver needs an invoice for each shipment. This invoice verifies delivery of each shipment. Your contact/customer signs this invoice, when goods are delivered. The truck shipping company will send a copy of each invoice to you for your records.

Step 4: Pay the truck shipping company when you receive the bill. Handle payments for shipping services, as they are outlined in your contract and payment arrangements.
