Struggling with large fragile shipments. How to find a contract driver to drive a big delivery loop?
I'm in Tennessee and I'm looking for a way to efficiently move shipments of RV siding far distances (corrugated .025 aluminum sheet).
We have a big delivery loop, the next one starts in TN, hits two customers in OH, one in IN and one in Rapid City SD then hopefully back to TN with the empty crate.
Crate will be roughly 4ft wide, 2.5 ft high, 18 ft long. Orders will be bundled up with each piece separated by moving blankets, moving blankets all around it, and then taped up together really well. Open hinged crate top, remove bundle, give to customer. Orders should be under 75# per bundle, customer helps unload. Not terribly heavy but terribly bulky.
I'm open to ideas or people interested in doing this kind of thing 10 times a year. I would like to find a contract driver with everything they need to run this delivery loop for us. Its not a regular enough thing for me to hire full time. How do I find this?
