How Can You Plan Your Route Efficiently? Keep a laminated atlas in your truck so you always have a physical map to reference. While there are plenty of smartphone routing apps and tools, having a paper option will ensure you know where you’re going even when there’s no service. Replace the atlas every year to ensure it’s fully updated. You can deduct the expense from your taxes. In addition to a physical map, there are a number of trucking apps to consider. While Google Maps® or Waze® are perfectly good options, applications made for truck drivers offer information on gas prices, truck stops, parking, weigh stations, and toll roads. Finally, when planning a route, always include a backup option. This will allow you to switch if the road you’re driving on has major traffic or construction work. INQUIRE NOW!

Here are the top 5 freight documents all shippers should be familiar with and how they differ from one another. -Bill of Lading If there were only one shipping document you need to know like the back of your palm, the Bill of Lading would be it. -Packing list Just like the Bill of Lading, the packing list is a mandatory document in shipping merchandise. It lists, down to the tiniest of details, information regarding the cargo. This includes the weight, volume, and value of not only the overall cargo but also each individual box. -Commercial invoice Any international transaction that involves importing/exporting goods must come with a proof of sale known as the commercial invoice. -Certificate of origin According to the ICC, the certificate of origin (COO) is ‘an important international trade document that certifies that goods in a particular export shipment are wholly obtained, produced, manufactured or processed in a particular country. They also serve as a declaration by the exporter.’ -Letter of Credit The letter of credit is a formal, binding agreement of payment between buyer and seller. The international purchase process is a long one, given the long delay from the time the seller ships his cargo off to the time it reaches the safe hands of the buyer. INQUIRE NOW!
