Ordering A Multiple Vehicle Shipment
When you're running a larger company with more than one location
, whether that is within a single city or with multiple depots across the country, your shipping needs, and the complexity of your shipping requests seem to multiply rather than simply add on to each other. As a result of this, there are situations when you might want your Atlanta delivery service to provide you with more than one courier vehicle to complete your shipment. There are a lot of different reasons that you might see this as the most expedient shipping option for your company, and in many cases your courier should be able to fulfill this request.
The reasons that you might decide that you need more than one vehicle could include the practical, such as you are simply shipping to many packages or too large of a shipment to be contained in a single vehicle, to the efficient, when you might be trying to use multiple vehicles to make multiple deliveries to make sure all your clients get their shipments sooner than they would when you ship with a single vehicle. There are some other considerations to take into account though.
First of all, if you can't fill two vehicles completely, there may be some kind of a trade off that you have to expect. When you hire an entire truck to move your goods only, that is known as FTL shipping. However, if you want more than one vehicle and can't fill those trucks completely, you will either have to still hire them FTL, which in effect means you are paying for the empty space in the trucks, or ship one vehicle LTL, which means that others will be sharing the truck with you, which can delay your shipments. Often when you're trying to ship with more than one vehicle at the same time, you will have to prioritize between time and money.
If you're more inexperienced in terms of logistics planning and aren't sure which configuration of multiple vehicles is going to work best for your needs, you should be sure to just ask your courier company about what they think might work best for you. They can provide valuable input which via their logistics experts that can help you see what the most efficient way to structure your shipping will be, which may include using two trucks to move your shipment, or a suggestion for shipping that may have not yet occurred to you.
