The drawbacks of trucking transport include:

  • Licensing and other regulations governing truck transport vary from province to province and state to state. Knowledge of and adherence to these is essential.
  • Freight may be subject to more damage due to jostling in transit and potential highway accidents.
  • Delays caused by inclement weather and road construction must be taken into account when scheduling truck runs.

  • A wide variety of trucking options, from small straight trucks and semi-trailers to flat beds and drop-deck heavy machinery haulers, are available to accommodate any type of freight.
