The North-South freight route by road stretches for thousands of kilometers, passing through many provinces and cities, and travel time can last from 2 to 4 days depending on the type of vehicle and schedule. Therefore, long-distance transportation always has many potential risks in terms of cost, time and cargo safety.
1. Determine the correct transportation needs
What type of goods? (dry goods, fragile goods, food, machinery, frozen goods ...).
What is the volume and size?
Delivery time requirements (urgent or can be combined).
👉 Clearly determining the needs helps to choose the right type of truck (small truck, medium truck, closed truck, refrigerated truck, container ...), avoid renting a truck that is too large or unsuitable, causing waste of costs.
2. Choose the appropriate form of transportation
Rent the whole trip:
Suitable for large quantities of goods, high value, need to be delivered urgently.
Consolidate goods:
Suitable for small, non-urgent goods, saving up to 40 - 50% of costs.
👉 Consider choosing the form to optimize costs while still ensuring efficiency.
3. Pack goods securely and scientifically
Use cartons, pallets, PE film to save space and prevent impact.
Fragile goods → wrap with foam, label "Fragile goods".
Frozen goods → pack in foam boxes, maintain suitable temperature.
Machinery → secure with straps, wooden pallets.
👉 Proper packaging helps keep goods safe on long journeys from North to South.
4. Choose a reputable, professional transport unit
A professional transport company needs to have:
A fleet of vehicles with diverse tonnage.
Transparent quotes, clear contracts.
Cargo insurance, compensation support in case of risks.
GPS system for customers to track routes.
👉 A reputable unit will help reduce risks, ensure goods are safe and save costs.
5. Plan your time and route
Avoid transporting during the hours when trucks are banned in the city to avoid delays.
Choose the main route (National Highway 1A, North-South Expressway) to save fuel and limit risks.
With many delivery points, it is necessary to arrange an optimal route to avoid travel costs.
👉 A scientific schedule will help deliver goods quickly and on time.
6. Check the truck before departure
Check the condition of the vehicle: engine, brakes, tires, cooling system (if any).
Ensure the vehicle meets long-distance travel standards.
Minimize the risk of breakdown on the road, avoid costs and delays.
7. Track goods during transportation
Update the status of goods via GPS or driver.
Keep in regular contact with the transport unit.
Request immediate notification if there is an incident for timely handling.
👉 Proactive monitoring helps customers feel secure and minimize risks.
8. Prepare necessary documents when transporting North-South
Invoices, goods documents.
Circulation documents (if special goods).
Clear transportation contract.
👉 Complete documents help avoid being fined and disrupting the transportation process.
9. Count and accept goods upon delivery
Check the quantity and condition of goods immediately upon receipt.
Make a clear record of goods delivery and receipt.
If there is any damage, it is necessary to immediately notify the transport unit for handling according to the contract.
10. Take advantage of long-term contracts if transporting regularly
Enterprises with continuous North-South transportation needs should sign long-term contracts.
Both save costs and get priority support when needed.
Conclusion
When transporting goods from North to South over long distances by truck, customers need to note:
Clearly identify your needs.
Choose the appropriate vehicle and form of transport.
Package goods safely.
Choose a reputable, professional unit.
Fully track and count goods.
👉 With the above notes, you can completely save costs, reduce risks and ensure goods are safe and on time when transporting long distances from North to South.
