Haul of the Week! 

February is officially here! As we know, it is a short month, with that being said aligning your goals and putting in the work to keep moving forward is always the plan.  2020 was a tough year for many people including many small businesses. We absolutely love to see those small businesses overcome the challenges that they are being faced with.  According to Mehak Anwar,  having a game plan/goal oriented task has shown to be a "positive psychological process that is good for reinforcing personal identity, calming a sense of inner chaos, and prioritizing."  Staying focused, and keeping your goals aligned with your actions plays a large role in the outcome. 

Moving forward,

This weeks haul of the week is a 44ft Gooseneck Mobile Kitchen Trailer for Vice Burgers in Miami, FL. Yes I said 44ft! Spacious, and customized the trailer should be a perfect fit for the upcoming burger company. The trailer is a brand new 2021 Freedom Trailer that has a dry weight of right around 10,000lbs. Upon pick up, which was directly from a dealer in Tennessee. Our driver Daniel was able to complete a safety inspection with no problems, or delays foreseen. After completing our checklist it was time to hit the road. The trip was roughly 1,000 miles from the Nashville, TN area down to sunny Miami, FL! Our customers were in no rush which was much appreciated, and we were provided with a 3 day window for delivery. Plenty of time!  

Daniel traveled through TN, down through GA, and then finally into the home stretch of FL. The weather transitioned from a chilly 30° to the perfect temperature of 75° with a nice coastal breeze. Upon arriving right around the Fort Pierce area, the driver stopped to fuel up the truck and do a quick mid trip inspection. As he was walking around the passenger side towards the rear of the trailer he noticed an odd dark dust that was coming from a few of the hubs that he could see on the tires. He called into our dispatch team right away and let an agent know so we could figure this out. The agent was able to get in touch with the dealer who then directly got ahold of the manufacturer to explain what was happening at the source of the problem.  After further investigation and explanation by the driver to the manufacturer it was determined that the trailer needed to be taken in to a repair shop. We located one not too far away, and Freedom Trailers was able to over night the parts that were faulty. As expected, the parts were received the next day and the repair shop had them installed within 30 minutes. That is what team work is about! Having the right team can make a major difference when doing anything.. Being in the transport industry, things come up often. Whether it be tires blowing, traffic due to an accident, or just simply inclement weather, communication and teamwork is a necessity. Daniel hit the road and was back in route to Miami to make delivery. 

Daniel arrived in Miami later that evening, and was finally able to deliver the trailer to the happy clients. Although there were a few delays with the hub issue and then traffic arriving in Miami, they were ecstatic to have the trailer home at last. We are super excited to see this trailer put in to action after all of the hard work Vice Burger and their crew have put in to make all of this happen.
