Vice Burger Custom Trailer Transport
Do you like your burgers Hot & Juicy?
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.

- In today’s fast-paced global economy, the logistics and transportation landscape is more complex than ever. Whether you’re a business looking to ship goods or a private customer in need of reliable delivery, navigating the maze of carriers, routes, and regulations can be overwhelming. That’s where a freight broker comes in. By acting as an intermediary between shippers and carriers, freight brokers provide invaluable services that simplify shipping processes, save time, and reduce costs.
- At One Call Logistics, we understand the challenges that businesses and individuals face when arranging transportation. Here’s a breakdown of how utilizing a freight broker can benefit both companies and private customers, making logistics easier and more efficient for everyone.
- Benefits for Companies: Streamlined Logistics and Cost Savings
- Access to a Vast Network of Carriers
- For companies, one of the biggest advantages of working with a freight broker is the access they provide to a wide network of carriers. Freight brokers have established relationships with numerous carriers, which means they can offer competitive pricing and a variety of shipping options. This is especially beneficial for businesses that don’t have the time or resources to vet and negotiate with multiple carriers.
- Whether you need to ship domestically or internationally, a freight broker will connect you with the right carrier based on your specific needs—whether it’s speed, capacity, or special handling requirements.
- Expertise in Routing and Freight Management
- Freight brokers bring expertise to the table, providing businesses with professional insights into the best routing options for shipments. This can significantly reduce transit time, improve efficiency, and avoid unnecessary detours. A broker’s in-depth knowledge of the logistics landscape means they can identify the most cost-effective and reliable routes, taking into account factors like weather, traffic patterns, and regulatory requirements.
- By handling the complexities of freight management, brokers save companies time and effort. This allows businesses to focus on their core operations rather than spending valuable resources on logistics.
- Cost Efficiency and Negotiated Rates
- Freight brokers can help companies save money by negotiating discounted rates with carriers. Because brokers work with numerous carriers regularly, they can leverage these relationships to secure better prices than a company might be able to negotiate on its own. Additionally, brokers can help businesses optimize shipping strategies, consolidating shipments to reduce costs and ensure goods are transported efficiently.
- In the long run, working with a freight broker results in savings not just on transportation costs but also in reduced overhead related to managing logistics in-house.
- Streamlined Compliance and Documentation
- Shipping goods—especially internationally—comes with a maze of regulations and documentation requirements. A freight broker helps businesses navigate this red tape by ensuring that shipments comply with all applicable laws and regulations. They handle the paperwork, from customs declarations to bills of lading, ensuring everything is in order to avoid delays or fines. This reduces the burden on businesses, letting them focus on meeting customer demands and growing their operations.
- Benefits for Private Customers: Simplifying Personal Shipments
- Personalized Shipping Solutions
- While freight brokers are typically associated with businesses, they can also offer substantial benefits to private customers who need to ship personal items. Whether it’s moving a car, sending household goods across the country, or shipping a large item internationally, a freight broker can help find the most suitable carrier for the job. Brokers work with various transport companies, allowing them to match private customers with the right shipping option for their specific needs.
- Time-Saving Convenience
- For private customers, managing logistics can be a time-consuming process, especially when dealing with large shipments or complex deliveries. A freight broker takes care of the heavy lifting—sourcing the best carrier, managing pickup and delivery details, and tracking the shipment until it arrives. This convenience means customers don’t have to worry about the details, saving them time and effort.
- Cost Savings and Better Shipping Rates
- Although private customers typically don’t have the same volume of shipments as businesses, freight brokers can still help secure better shipping rates. By leveraging their relationships with carriers and understanding how to optimize the shipping process, brokers can help individuals get competitive prices for personal shipments. Whether it’s a one-off move or a recurring need, a freight broker can help ensure that private customers are getting the best deal possible.
- Expert Guidance and Support
- When it comes to shipping personal items, there’s a lot to consider—especially when it comes to specialized requirements like fragile or high-value items. A freight broker provides expert advice on packaging, insurance, and shipping options to ensure that the customer’s items are handled properly. They also offer support throughout the shipping process, providing updates and helping resolve any issues that may arise.
- Conclusion: Why Choose a Freight Broker?
- Whether you’re a business looking to streamline your logistics or a private customer trying to ship personal items, a freight broker can provide immense value. By offering access to a wide range of carriers, negotiating better rates, ensuring compliance, and providing expert guidance, freight brokers simplify the shipping process and make it more efficient for all parties involved.
- At One Call Logistics, we are dedicated to helping both companies and private customers navigate the complexities of freight transportation. With our expert team, vast network of carriers, and commitment to personalized service, we ensure your shipments are delivered on time, at the best price, and without the stress.
