Transporting goods from North to South by truck is the main choice of businesses and individuals thanks to reasonable costs, flexibility in time and type of goods. However, the distance of more than 1,700 km has many potential risks if not carefully prepared. Below are important notes to help you ensure that goods are transported safely - on time - at optimal cost.
1. Check and pack goods according to standards
Long distances from North to South are prone to shaking and the weather changes constantly, so proper packaging is a must.
Some notes when packing:
Use sturdy cartons, wooden crates or pallets
Use bubble wrap, PE foam, and wrapping film to prevent impact
Label “Fragile goods”, “Do not tilt”, “Do not stack” when necessary
Secure heavy goods with straps, struts or shelves
Packaging carefully helps limit damage, save compensation costs and time to handle incidents.
2. Choose the right truck for each type of goods
Choosing the wrong type of truck can cause damage to goods or incur unnecessary costs.
Some popular types of vehicles:
Tarpaulin trucks
Closed trucks
Refrigerated trucks
Crane trucks - forklifts
Container trucks
Depending on the type of goods (food, fragile goods, machinery, high-value goods...), you choose the appropriate truck.
3. Check the load and quantity of goods before loading
Overloading or oversizing is easy to be checked and fined, leading to late delivery.
You need to:
Check the actual weight
Compare with the vehicle load
Arrange and distribute goods according to the principle: heavy below - light above, evenly on both sides
This helps the vehicle operate stably, limiting spillage during transportation.
4. Arrange goods properly to avoid collisions during transportation
For long-distance transportation, the way of arranging goods determines the safety of the entire shipment.
Notes when loading:
Prioritize placing heavy items deep inside the vehicle
Push them with wooden bars, pallets or foam cushions
Avoid leaving gaps between packages
Do not stack too high to avoid tilting or falling
5. Track shipping schedules with GPS
Long-haul trucks often have to move continuously through many provinces and cities. Monitoring the journey helps you:
Track delivery progress
Proactively receive goods on time
Limit loss or wrong route
Ensure drivers comply with speed and rest properly
Reputable transport units always equip 24/7 GPS for the entire fleet.
6. Check the vehicle condition before departure
Long-distance transport trucks need to be carefully checked:
Tires, brake system
Signal lights
Lubricant, coolant
Truck trunk locking system
Air conditioning (for cold vehicles)
A vehicle with guaranteed technical performance will reduce the risk of sudden stops or damage on the road.
7. Monitor the weather and choose the right time to travel
The weather in the Central region, especially the rainy and stormy season, greatly affects North-South transportation.
Should:
Avoid driving during times of flood and landslide warnings
Follow weather forecasts by day and by region
Choose safe routes instead of too short
8. Choose a reputable shipping unit with a clear contract
To reduce risks, you should choose a unit that:
Has a transparent contract
Has cargo insurance
Has a large fleet of vehicles with many types of loads
Supports loading, unloading, and lifting
Tracks the journey with GPS
Avoid choosing a unit that quotes too cheaply but does not commit to safety.
Conclusion
Transporting goods from the North to the South by long-distance trucks requires many factors: standard packaging, proper loading, tracking the journey and choosing a reliable unit. The more carefully you prepare, the safer the goods and the more optimal the cost.
