How Will My Shipping Rate Be Determined? Posted By: Earl Cavell

Every Miami delivery service determines their shipping rates the same way. That doesn't mean that they all charge the same rates. It just means that they all use the same factors to determine how much they are going to charge. These factors are the size and shape of the cargo, the distance to be travelled, and the speed with which the delivery must be made. Other factors such as labor costs and overhead also go into how much they charge for their services. The size and shape of the shipment is also known as freight class. Freight classifications have helped to standardize how cargo is handled in interstate commerce. They set recommendations for how to handle cargo based on the shipment's weight, handling, storability, and liability. There are 18 classifications, and each courier company determines for themselves how much they charge for each freight class. The distance to be travelled is also extremely important in calculating rates. The number one cost for delivery companies is fuel. The further a shipment needs to travel, the more fuel it is going to take to get it to its destination.

Truck Accidents: Could Your Vehicle Keep You Safe? Posted By: Hiteshbhoi

Recent media attention on the number of highway fatalities caused by semi-trucks has many people asking whether our roads are indeed 'safe.' A fully loaded truck, like the one that slammed into the back of another truck on California's I-5 last month can do an intense amount of damage. In that particular accident, three people were killed and at least ten more injured when the truck entering the 550-foot underpass crashed into the truck in front, causing a massive pile-up and ultimately, an explosion. This isn't the first time the safety of sharing our roads with oversized semi-trailer trucks has been questioned. Trucking industry practices are continuously being reformed to address the number of fatalities these vehicles cause, including reducing the amount of time a truck driver is allowed to drive without a break, instituting new methods of driver payment that do not include "paid-by-the-mile" incentives, and adding more highway patrol officers designated to specifically crack down on truck drivers that don't keep proper log books or break traffic laws. But is it enough? In theory, the enhanced safety measures are beneficial, but the process has been slow and for many families, too slow.


The Great American Adventure: Road Tripping Posted By: Hiteshbhoi

If you've never done it, you should. The open road, stops at highway diners, motels with blinking neon signs just off the interstate. Road trips are a staple in the American culture from cross country family vacations, to college freshman making their way home for the holidays. While a road trip can be the foundation for lifelong memories of fun and adventure, without the proper preparation, they can also be, well, a nightmare. Here are some tips to keep in mind if you have fantasies of road tripping on the brain: First, anticipate a problem with your vehicle. Nothing can shut down a road trip and eat up precious time like car problems. Time your routine maintenance check up about two weeks before you plan to go. This will give you time to have the problem repaired by a mechanic before you leave. If the trip is impromptu, take your vehicle into a mechanic the morning before you leave and ask for a quick test of the important basics: fluid levels, air pressure, brake pads. If you feel your vehicles in good enough shape, you should still expect something to go wrong.
