Equipment & capacity
Equipment starts with the load.
Share the freight dimensions, weight and loading requirements. Equipment availability and suitability are confirmed for each shipment.
Specify the requirement.
Confirm the equipment.
Equipment descriptions in a rate request help dispatch understand the load; they do not reserve a truck or confirm a specialized capability. We review the requirement and confirm the available transportation arrangement before booking.

PayloadTotal gross weight, individual heavy pieces and weight distribution.
Dock & accessLoading docks, yard access, door clearance and site restrictions.
HandlingForklift loading, tailgate requirements or any assistance needed.
Special conditionsTemperature, dangerous goods or unusual dimensions must be declared and reviewed before acceptance.
Capacity planning
Recurring freight?
Send the pattern.
For repeat shipments, include the weekly frequency, usual load size, loading windows and any seasonal peaks. A useful capacity discussion starts with those facts—not a general promise of availability.

Send the lane, load and timing. We’ll take it from there.
