When looking at commercial shipping companies that service Hawaii, it’s advisable to look for companies with:
- Operations and facilities on the islands.
A logical choice is a service provider with assets on the islands – trucks, terminals, equipment, etc. Look for shipping companies who can seamlessly handle every detail of your shipment from door to door.
A full service operation helps to:- Reduce transit times
- Minimize handling of cargo
- Maintain the integrity of your shipment
- Ensure consistent arrival times on the islands
- A comprehensive understanding of local business.
It’s critical to find a shipper with extensive knowledge of all the logistical challenges unique to doing business locally in Hawaii.
Whether your shipment is delivered to a mall, hotel, military base, residence; or requires a container delivery to a business on a street as narrow such as a residential street, choosing a shipper with the expertise relevant to this market and the diversity in equipment is essential to effective and claims-free handling. - Transparent tracking throughout the shipping process.
Another important factor is the tracking or “visibility” of your shipment, especially when your shippers can be thousands of miles away.
With a comprehensive tracking ability including automatically-generated email status reports, you know where your freight is during every movement of the shipping process – from pickup to the final delivery stages.
