How to Add Value to Your Auto Hauling Business
What kind of trucking business you are handling? Flatbed trucking, dry van trucking, or refrigerated shipping? How did they benefit you? It seems that transporting hazardous and flammable materials makes truckers earn more than the general cargo. Today, we are talking about auto hauling which is different from the above transportation business.
We always can see on the highway, some auto haulers specialized in transporting luxury and classic cars, some auto haulers only transport used cars from wholesalers to small dealers.
There are many different ways to haul cars. But, the core equipment of auto hauling is auto hauling straps. Hauling straps vary based on different types of auto, the flatbed trailer, and other factors. Here are 3 points you need to pay attention to to add value for your auto hauling business:
The Necessary Equipment
Auto hauling rigs are the necessary equipment and trucks and trailers have to be matched, otherwise, it won’t work. Normally, these auto hauling rigs are custom-made and expensive.
Next, the tie downs of auto hauling are also very important, such as chains, straps, hooks, etc. auto hauling may need more equipment than any other type of cargo hauling.
The Necessary Skill
Normally, the auto hauling business is more expensive than other types of hauling, so you need a skillful driver. Since we have to ensure there’s no damage during the transportation. Due to different types of cars, different weights of cars, different weather conditions, etc. you need to proceed with different loading and securing ways.
If you’re not driving a particularly smooth road, If you are in an emergency and need to brake hard, If you have bad weather along the way, you need to pay more attention to the cargo, since they are more expensive than many goods.
Hire Experienced Drivers
Auto hauling is different from other cargo hauling, so the trucking company requests the experienced drivers than the new driver. In this case, the new driver is hard to find jobs in the trucking company, because auto hauling is complicated, not only tie down hooks and shackles.
But, if you are the driver who has rich experience in driving the flatbed, you will be easily hired by the owner, since you have great experience in loading and securing cargo, you are familiar with the straps, chains, hooks and know how to use then in different conditions.
