A carrier offering critical handling services will ensure the safety and security of the cargo through each stage of the transportation. Pre-trip planning is crucial to the success of any specialty transport operation, this includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mapping out an appropriate route that avoids zones with a high security risk<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring weather patterns<\/li>\n<li>Proper tie-down and load securement procedures documented and photographed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another crucial element is monitoring of the entire trip via GPS, including the average speed of the vehicle and where it is being stored for required driver rest periods.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/imtbc.com\/transport-services\/aerospacelogistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Time sensitive shipments <\/b><\/a>are a common occurrence in the aerospace industry, especially for airline AOG (aircraft-on-ground) events. When an airline has a grounded aircraft it means that other planes have to be re-routed to pick up passengers, passengers have to wait and it is a costly burden on a complex airline flight scheduling system. In these situations IMT will offer a non-stop service to deliver the necessary components for making the aircraft air-worthy again.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, IMT has been required to detour around certain states that do not allow oversized loads on the road during the night. In the case of a non-stop delivery we would rely heavily on our office staff to pick a route that ensures the wheels never stop moving until the shipment has safely reached its destination.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/imtbc.com\/transport-services\/specialized-shipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Secure transport <\/b><\/a>simply means being able to consistently deliver high-value components while maintaining the safety and security of the shipment at all times. Jet engines, helicopters, weapons systems are just some examples of high-value shipments that require special clearances and procedures. \u00a0For example, when transporting an aircraft worth millions, it is always best to use fully-enclosed trailers that not only protect the load from road debris, but also offers security and peace-of-mind to the owner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You hear the buzzwords often in this industry: time sensitive shipments, specialized transportation\u00a0or critical handling.
