Our team driver open deck transport services are tailored to provide seamless, expedited deliveries for oversized loads, time-sensitive materials, and critical components. We prioritize excellence in every shipment, ensuring peace of mind for our clients.
In today’s fast-paced world, where timely deliveries can make or break a project, having access to reliable transportation is essential. Our team driver services are specifically designed to meet the demands of time-sensitive shipments while ensuring the secure handling of open deck freight.
What is Team Driver Service?
Team driver services involve two certified CDL drivers collaborating to maximize driving hours and minimize downtime. This approach is highly beneficial for open deck freight, which requires specialized handling and continuous transit. By leveraging this system, we ensure that your shipment arrives promptly and securely, even under tight deadlines.
Key Features of Team Driver Services:
Non-Stop Transit: Drivers alternate shifts, ensuring continuous movement of your freight.
Enhanced Efficiency: Faster delivery times compared to single-driver operations.
Safety Assurance: Strict adherence to FMCSA Hours of Service (HOS) regulations guarantees safe and reliable transport.
