Freight & Securement

The freight consists primarily of steel coils used for construction.

The coils are transported in a dry van and loaded onto low wooden pallets. Because of the way the freight must be secured, drivers are required to nail the wooden pallets to the trailer floor during load securement.

Once the load is properly secured, the freight is no-touch.

Drivers are responsible for the required load securement in Philadelphia. Upon returning to the home terminal, the driver is only required to complete the normal unloading/securement process as instructed.

Load Cancellation Guarantee

Customer loads can occasionally be cancelled.

If a scheduled load is cancelled and the driver is notified by 11:00 AM EST, the driver will receive an 8-hour minimum payment for the cancelled load.
