Just as with any kind of service, what you put into a transport job determines what you get out of it.
It also depends on your goals and objectives and the type of job you're trying to get done. For example, if you have a junk vehicle that's cluttering up the place and you want it gone, you're not so concerned with how that happens after the vehicle has left your property.
On the other hand, if you're hiring a company to move an important asset, a piece of your business equipment or a late-model vehicle that you own, you're going to be very concerned with how that transport happens. At Transport Oahu, we work to establish the highest-quality chains of custody for your major assets, to give you peace of mind and help you to protect your financial investment.
Strapping Down
Using tie-downs isn't rocket science, but you'd be surprised how often some of the basics get missed or overlooked. Our flatbed service is always based on the premise of adequate structural security on the road, with proper training for all staff members on how to position and tie-down vehicles and equipment. This isn't just a detail, as anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of poor implementation can tell you.
Patience, Grasshopper!
Another key point in safely delivering vehicles and equipment is to have drivers who are knowledgeable, wise, and above all, calm. (Actually, all three of these are probably equally important – but you get the idea.)
We've seen the YouTube videos of drivers who, for one reason or another, acted erratically and impulsively, and caused an accident when their cargo payloads got out of control. There's a particular physics to moving these big items, and you have to know what you're doing. We do.
Knowing the Island
In addition to the above, which applies to moving businesses everywhere, things are a little different on the islands. There's a particular terrain to navigate, and tourism traffic to contend with, and some unusual geography in play. You don't want your driver taking a wrong turn on the GPS and landing your precious cargo in the water…!
That might be a hyperbole, but it really does pay to have a company that knows their way around. At Transport Oahu, we can handle your big jobs up to 13,000 pounds, with the right kinds of supports and processes to make sure your move goes well.
