Food Truck Shipping

The Process of Shipping Food Trucks

Shipping a food truck typically involves the following steps. First, you will speak with a shipping specialist who will gather all the relevant information about your food truck or trailer.

Every mode of transportation is unique, and each individual has specific circumstances and needs.

• Determining the appropriate type of trailer for transportation purposes. Three types of trailers can be used: a Hotshot Trailer, a Step Deck Trailer with Ramps, and in some cases, for larger vehicles, an RGN trailer.
• Please determine the most convenient time and date for the driver to pick up the vehicle.
• Please exchange contact details with the driver to establish a line of communication for coordinating the pick-up.
• The driver will inspect the vehicle's exterior, noting any scratches or dents. They will then provide a copy of the inspection report to the point of origin.
• The driver will provide an estimated arrival time (ETA) for the delivery and maintain communication throughout the journey.
• The driver will deliver the food truck and then perform an inspection to ensure that it has arrived in the same condition as when it was loaded.

Types of Food Truck Shipping

Regarding shipping food trucks, there are primarily two main methods: ground transportation and overseas shipping.

Ground Transportation:

Ground transportation involves shipping the food truck within the same country or continent using lorries or trailers. This method is commonly used for domestic food truck shipping.

Flatbed Trucks:

Flatbed trucks are commonly used to transport food trucks over land. The food truck is loaded onto a flatbed trailer, appropriately secured, and transported to the desired location. Flatbed trucks are versatile and can accommodate various sizes of food trucks.

Enclosed Trailers:

Another option is to use enclosed trailers to transport food trucks. These trailers protect from weather conditions and can be a suitable choice for longer distances.

Towing:

The food truck may sometimes be towed behind a specialized vehicle. This method is often used for smaller food trucks or when the owner prefers to have their vehicle transport the food truck.

Overseas Shipping:

If you need international food shipping or across continents, overseas shipping methods come into play. Several options are available depending on the distance and logistical requirements.

Container Shipping:

Food trucks can be loaded into shipping containers for transportation by sea. The food truck is securely placed inside a container and loaded onto a cargo ship. Container shipping is suitable for long distances and international shipments.

Ro-Ro Shipping:

Roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) shipping involves driving the food truck onto a specialized vessel at the departure port and off at the destination port. This method is commonly used for shipping vehicles and can be an option for food trucks.

Air Freight:

If time is critical, food trucks can be shipped by air freight. This method is faster but generally more expensive compared to sea freight. Air freight is often chosen for urgent shipments or when transporting food trucks to remote locations.
