Case Study
The following is an example of what can go wrong if you choose a carrier or 3PL without experience.
In this case, an inexperienced carrier was contracted to handle the shipment. The shipper quickly learned that experience matters just as much as price.
Incident
- Carrier did not properly secure the load for transit.
- Carrier had never handled a shipment of this size.
- Carrier was traveling at an excessive rate of speed in violation of the permit.
Outcome
- Tank was a total loss and scrapped.
- Carrier hauling this shipment is now out of business.
- Shipper incurred additional charges that they were not able to recoup from the carrier's insurance company.
