Cargo-fit checklist
What Senate Freight checks before release.
The right equipment choice is a combination of cargo envelope, route, loading method, and handling safety.
- 01
Best for predictable dry cargo with clean carton or pallet layout.
Share packed dimensions, gross weight, photos, drawings, and handling notes for confirmation.
- 02
Check gross road weight and axle limits even when container payload appears sufficient.
Share packed dimensions, gross weight, photos, drawings, and handling notes for confirmation.
- 03
Measure protrusions and dunnage before assuming a full-length fit.
Share packed dimensions, gross weight, photos, drawings, and handling notes for confirmation.
