Renting a truck to transport goods is becoming more and more popular for businesses and individuals. However, not everyone understands the standard process to rent a truck quickly, economically and especially to ensure the safety of goods during transportation. The following article will help you understand the professional truck rental process, avoid risks and limit costs.
1. Determine the type of goods and transportation needs
Before renting a vehicle, you need to carefully determine your needs to choose the right type of vehicle and load capacity:
Type of goods: fragile, heavy, bulky, refrigerated, high-value goods...
Volume & quantity of goods.
Transportation distance (inner city, out of town, long distance).
Loading and delivery time.
Determining accurately from the beginning helps the carrier advise the right type of vehicle, avoiding the situation where the vehicle is too small (not enough load) or too large (costly).
2. Choose the right type of truck for the goods
Each type of truck has its own advantages:
Closed-body truck - safest for fragile goods, goods that are afraid of rain and sun.
Tarp-covered truck - flexible for loading and unloading large, bulky goods.
Open-body truck - suitable for construction goods, large-sized goods.
Refrigerated trucks – for food and pharmaceutical products that need to be kept cold.
If you choose the right type of vehicle, the goods will be maximally protected and the loading and unloading process will also be more convenient.
3. Contact the car rental company for advice and quotes
After understanding your needs, you should contact 2-3 units to compare.
When contacting, provide:
Type of goods
Weight & volume
Transportation distance
Location of loading and unloading goods
Requested time
The carrier will send you a detailed quote, including:
Vehicle rental price per trip or per km
Loading and unloading fee (if needed)
Road fee – bridge – ferry – highway
Waiting time for the vehicle
Surcharge for heavy goods, bulky goods (if any)
You should prioritize the unit with a clear and comprehensive quote to avoid any problems.
4. Confirm vehicle booking – finalize time and route
After choosing the right unit, you need to:
Confirm vehicle type, load capacity and license plate number (or time the vehicle is available).
Clearly determine the time the vehicle will pick up the goods.
Send information on the loading and unloading points.
Send a detailed description of the goods so that the driver can prepare tools for tying, securing, and covering with tarpaulin.
Some reputable units will send a vehicle booking form or contract for confirmation.
5. Load and unload goods and check safety before the vehicle departs
When the vehicle arrives, you need to:
Check that the vehicle is the correct type – load capacity as agreed.
Goods must be carefully packaged, shockproof if fragile.
Arrange the goods properly: heavy goods placed below, light goods placed above.
Use straps, foam pads, pallets to secure the goods.
Check the container door and tarpaulin roof to see if they are tight and secure.
A safe loading and unloading process will reduce the risk of damage during transportation by 80%.
6. Track the shipping route and update the status
Most reputable car rental companies have:
GPS positioning
Update status via Zalo/SMS
Electronic delivery and receipt invoices
You can track the route in real time to ensure that the vehicle is on the right route, on time and does not stop for too long.
7. Acceptance of goods and payment
When the vehicle arrives:
Check the quantity and condition of the goods.
Copy the delivery documents if necessary (signature, invoice).
Pay the cost according to the original quote.
Keep the delivery and receipt minutes in case you need to compare later.
Conclusion
The process of renting a truck to transport goods is actually very simple if you choose the right reputable unit and prepare carefully. Just clearly define your needs, receive a transparent quote, check the vehicle and monitor the route, and you can completely ensure that your goods are transported safely, quickly and cost-effectively.
