Transporting goods long distance by truck, especially on inter-provincial or cross-country routes, always carries risks from vibration, collision and environmental changes. To ensure that every shipment arrives intact, preserving and securing goods is not only a responsibility but also an art that requires meticulousness and professional techniques. Below are the "golden" experiences that the team of experts at 24h Transport has gathered, helping you to protect your assets absolutely safe on every route.

 I. Goods Preservation Techniques: Against environmental impactsPreservation is the first and most important step, focusing on protecting goods from external factors such as humidity, temperature and light impact.1. Specialized packaging according to the characteristics of goodsFor Fragile Goods: Items such as ceramics, glass, or glassware need to be wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap or EPS foam padding material. Then, they must be placed in a hard carton, filling all gaps with shredded paper or foam beads to ensure they do not shift. Most importantly, the "Fragile" label must be clearly affixed on all sides of the box.For Electronic Equipment and Machinery: These items require moisture protection and anti-static protection. Use a sealed wooden crate or wooden pallet to secure the outside. Inside, use desiccant bags and anti-static materials. Always cover with waterproof tarpaulin or PE film to prevent dust and moisture from entering. For goods that need to be kept warm (Frozen, Food): It is mandatory to use a specialized refrigerated truck. Before loading and unloading, the refrigeration system must be checked and the truck body must be cooled to the required temperature (for example: $-18^\circ\text{C}$ for ice cream) from the beginning. For retail shipments, it is necessary to use a specialized insulated box with dry ice or heat-retaining gel that can maintain the temperature throughout the journey. For liquids and chemicals: It is necessary to store in a standard container with a completely sealed lid. These boxes must be placed upright and filled with absorbent materials such as sawdust or sand to prevent unexpected leaks.2. Control the environment inside the truck bodyControl humidity: Textiles, wooden furniture, and papers are very susceptible to mold in humid conditions. Desiccant bags should be used in the cargo boxes and the vehicle (especially closed trucks) should not leak water. Classification and separation: Do not put goods that can interact with each other (e.g. chemicals and food) on the same trip, unless they have been packaged and sealed according to safety standards. II. Cargo lashing techniques: Prevent displacement on the roadLashing is the process of fixing goods to the vehicle's cargo box, against inertial forces when the vehicle brakes suddenly, accelerates or turns. Correct lashing techniques will prevent any displacement of goods. 3. Golden rule of load distributionConcentrate weight: The heaviest goods must be placed in the center of the vehicle's cargo box, right on or near the wheel axle. This helps the vehicle balance, stabilize when moving and optimize the vehicle's load capacity. Evenly and balanced: Weight must be distributed evenly to both sides of the vehicle to avoid tilting the vehicle. Do not put all the goods on one side or one end of the vehicle. Stacking goods in layers: Always put heavy goods at the bottom, light goods at the top. The packages must be stacked tightly together, perpendicular to the floor of the vehicle to form a solid block. 4. Use and apply specialized lashing tools To secure goods in the safest way, it is necessary to use specialized tools: Polyester strap (Ratchet Strap): This is an indispensable tool. They are used to secure large packages, machinery, or pallets to anchor hooks on the floor and side of the vehicle. Choose a strap with a load capacity higher than the weight of the goods to ensure absolute safety. Barriers and Air Cushions: Use a barrier (Decking Beam) to divide the compartment or create a temporary barrier wall, preventing goods from being pushed forward. Use air bags or foam padding to fill the remaining gaps between packages to prevent impact. Cargo Net: Very useful when transporting many small packages or goods of irregular shape. The net helps keep the goods neatly in one area, preventing them from falling when opening the trunk door. 5. Advanced lashing techniques Multi-directional lashing: Not only fix the goods vertically (front/rear), but also horizontally (left/right). Use the Cross-Tensioning technique, which means stretching the straps from one corner to the opposite corner of the trunk to create a multi-directional holding force, especially effective when the vehicle turns or brakes suddenly. Reinforced sealing: After the lashing is complete, the driver must seal the trunk and ensure the straps are securely locked. III. Check and Monitor: Actions that cannot be ignoredTension check before departure: After completing loading and lashing, the driver must walk around the vehicle, pulling each strap and package to ensure there is no looseness.Travel and temperature monitoring: For long-distance transport, GPS location tracking and checking the temperature of the truck bed (for refrigerated goods) is essential. This helps the operating team detect and handle problems immediately before the goods are affected.Check at rest stop: After a long distance or after going through a bad road, the vehicle should be stopped at a safe point to re-check the tension of the belt and tighten it if necessary.ConclusionLong-distance trucking is a continuous process that requires professionalism and care.
