The type of trailer used to transport a container mainly depends on its weight and dimensions. Larger and heavier containers require specialized trailers such as lowboys, while smaller containers are easily moved using trailers such as hotshots and flatbeds.

Efficient Container Shipping Services in South Dakota

When booking to transport a single or several containers, provide us with the pick-up and drop-off locations, weight, size, shipping date, and whether you require loading assistance. Our company must fully insure every container we transport to protect it against damage. South Dakota is known for snowing, which means roads can be tricky to maneuver at certain times of the year which also poses a danger to your shipment because accidents happen more. We advise our customers to make their booking early enough so that we can have a proper plan of how we shall transport their container. We ensure each shipment is fully insured regardless of the season. Insurance in the transport industry is mandatory because we understand your load is valuable. Our team must fill out a bill of lading form before any container is loaded on the trailer. That form helps us know if your load was delivered safely. Get a free estimate from us today.
