Haulage is a huge industry which requires many safety and logistical factors. A large number of industries require a heavy haulage service to get oversized products to their end destination. Heavy loads are frequently transported across the country and can be a challenge.
Getting Permission
If your load is abnormal (means wider than 2.9m or longer than 18.65m) you will need proper authorization to be able to transport it with a permit from the police two days before the planned move.
Plan Thoroughly
Planning is the key to a successful journey. You should plan out each step and understand the risks of what you are transporting, as well as how much space it will take up in your delivery truck.
Adhere to Restrictions
If any restrictions are found in the heavy haulage process, they are there for a reason. Drivers often think that height or weight restrictions are precautionary, but these could cause other problems elsewhere in the haulage process. These restrictions should not be ignored when completing your journey.
Take Frequent Breaks
If you are driving a big truck and are tempted to drive as fast as possible, it is important to remember that all heavy haulage drivers must follow the legal driving hours in order to reduce the risk of an accident.
