How Trucking Shipments Are Handled in the United States

Shipping freight, vehicles, or equipment for the first time can feel overwhelming. At Reliable Logistics Solutions, we help shippers across the United States move cargo safely and efficiently.

This guide explains how a trucking shipment is handled from start to finish.

1. Shipment Details & Quoting

Every shipment starts with accurate details:

  • Pickup and delivery locations

  • Shipment type (car hauling, freight, equipment)

  • Weight, dimensions, and timing

This allows us to assign the correct equipment and pricing.

2. Dispatch & Scheduling

Once confirmed, your shipment is dispatched to a qualified driver operating on your route within the USA.

3. Pickup & Inspection

At pickup:

  • Freight or vehicles are inspected

  • Paperwork is completed

  • Securement begins immediately

4. Securement & Transport

We follow DOT-compliant securement using straps, chains, and binders to ensure safe transport nationwide.

5. Delivery & Final Inspection

At delivery, the shipment is inspected and signed off for completion.
