Navigating the Complexities of Construction Equipment Transport with PGT

January 17, 2025 By L dobbins0 Comments

Construction equipment transportation presents a unique set of challenges. These pieces of machinery, from excavators to cranes, often exceed standard transportation limits in terms of size and weight. This necessitates specialized handling and careful planning to ensure safe and efficient delivery.

One of the biggest hurdles is finding qualified drivers with the necessary experience and equipment to handle these massive machines. That’s where PGT Services comes in.

PGT Services: A Unique Approach to Construction Equipment Transport

At PGT Services, we maintain a deep understanding of the heavy haul industry. As a 3PL with over 40 years of experience in asset-based trucking, we have the knowledge and expertise to handle even the most complex projects. Our commitment to exceptional customer service is unwavering. We prioritize open communication and build strong, lasting relationships with our clients.

The PGT Process: A Customer-Centric Approach

The PGT Services process begins with a thorough understanding of your needs. We provide essential documents upfront, such as Certificates of Insurance (COI) and W9 forms. Clear communication is key throughout the entire process, from initial quote requests to final delivery.

Safety First: PGT’s Commitment to Excellence

Safety is paramount at PGT Services. Given the increased risk with construction equipment transport, we adhere to strict in-house policies for carrier vetting, including thorough checks of DOT numbers and driver history. By leveraging the expertise of our sister company, Southern Pines Trucking, a leader in heavy haul and oversized movements, we ensure best practices in all aspects of transportation.

 

Choosing PGT Services for your construction equipment transport needs provides access to industry-leading expertise, unparalleled customer service, and a commitment to safety. We prioritize building strong, collaborative partnerships, ensuring peace of mind for our clients and the knowledge that their valuable equipment is in the best possible hands.

Contact PGT Services today to learn more about how we can assist with your next construction equipment transport project.
