Finding a great quote for shipping a tractor or heavy machinery is easier than you might think. Comparing shipping services and testimonials for a heavy hauling company can help you decide who to trust with your equipment. 

Once you’ve chosen a company to get a quote from, you’ll need to organize the details of the shipment. No matter which company you select, having all your information ready to go will help you get the most accurate shipping rates possible. Let’s review those important pieces of information so you can get a free, accurate tractor shipping quote instantly.

Equipment Size and Weight

When booking transport for your tractor, one of the most important pieces of information to know is the size and weight of the machine. Your original owner’s manual should have the specs detailed inside. Most tractor companies will have their machine spec documents available on their websites if you don’t know where your manual is. 

Or, easier yet, you can use a free specs tool. You can find the measurements for over 60,000 machines in the Trusted Dispatch Specs Tool. Start by typing in the make and model of your tractor (for example, John Deere) and select the appropriate match from the list of suggestions. You’ll automatically see the details shown in the corresponding fields of height, length, weight, etc. 

The dimensions and weight of your tractor allow the diver to plan the route accordingly and the correct trailer to use. Choosing the right trailer ensures your tractor is transported safely, and that the driver can load the machine safely, and that the driver can comply with road safety regulations. Heavier loads require additional axles to distribute the weight. 

Shipping Distance

The shipping distance is another essential component in calculating the shipping cost. The transport distance will determine the route the driver can take, will count for the amount of fuel that will be used, and the timing of the shipment. You’ll need to tell the shipping company the pickup and drop-off location to get an accurate quote. 

The Trusted Dispatch process is fast and easy, even for long distance shipping. You’ll receive your free quote instantly when you enter the locations and the measurements of your shipment. And if you have additional questions or inquiries, our customer support team is always here to help. 

Quality Tractor Hauling 

Quality tractor hauling requires professional and experienced drivers. You want to be able to have complete confidence that your farm equipment will be shipped securely and on schedule. Finding a professional transportation service that has experienced and vetted drivers will also be reflected in transparent pricing. The cost to ship should be based on the measurements you provide, the distance the item is going, and the professional level of service. A fair quote will indicate that the tractor shipping business is focused on high-quality service.
