The dispatcher will ask you details
on the shipment, including:
For Pick Up
- Give the dispatcher your company name, street address and town.
When is your
shipment ready - If the goods have been
packed, labeled and our bill of lading is filled out then your shipment
is ready. To avoid extra costs and delays give yourself plenty of time
to prepare your goods. If the goods will be ready around your closing
time, the dispatcher will ask you when you will be closing. This will
ensure that you will not be waiting unnecessarily for our drivers if
problems like heavy traffic conditions prevent us from arriving on time.
How many items
are in the shipment - Give the total number of
individual items.
How heavy is
the shipment - If less than 10 lbs, give to
nearest lb. If less than 100 lbs, give to nearest 10 lbs. If greater
than 100 lbs, give to nearest 100 lbs.
The size of
the shipment - If the consignment is small in
size, a simple description like "about shoe-box size" is
sufficient. If the consignment is large, then you will need to give the
length, width and height. Our dispatchers need to know sizes and
weights, so that they can dispatch the closest suitable vehicle for the
job. We don't want to send a semi-trailer to pick up an envelope!
Special
handling needs - If any goods in the shipment
need special handling instructions, for example they are fragile, our
drivers must be informed so they can ensure your shipment arrives in
perfect condition.
Your name,
or the name of a person who knows about the pick-up, and will be
available when our driver arrives. If you will be unavailable when our
truck arrives, please find someone who will be available and give this
persons name to the dispatcher.
Where is the
shipment going? - We need to know the
receivers full company name and address. You need to write this address
IN FULL on the bill of lading.
Contact at
destination point - Give the operator the name
of the person who is expecting the shipment. If the goods are to be
delivered to a storeroom, please ensure that this persons name is
written on the bill of lading, and on each pachage.
When does the
receiver need the shipment? - This will tell
us what type of service will be best suited to your shipment.
