Box Trucks Deliver for Cincinnati
Here at Redkey Express, we have more box trucks than any other kind of equipment, and more box truck drivers than people who specialize in other vehicles.
Why is this?
Because box trucks are so versatile, secure, efficient, accessible and cost-effective. Delivering everything from a few packages to large appliances is best done with a box truck.
Our local delivery service box trucks can carry up to 12 skids, and are all equipped with liftgates and pallet jacks. So they are a great choice for any load from 50 pounds to 12,000 pounds.
Protected from weather and vandals
The enclosed design of box trucks provides protection against rough weather, theft and damage during transit. This is especially beneficial for Redkey clients moving delicate or valuable goods that need extra care.
With locking mechanisms, our box trucks ensure the security of your cargo, both during transport and while the truck is parked. Lockability reduces the risk of theft and unauthorized access.
Compact for maneuverability, yet easy to load and unload
Part of the efficiency of box trucks comes from their easy access with side or rear doors. Loading and unloading go quickly, reducing turnaround times and increasing client productivity.
When you need freight delivered in areas with tight turns, like urban streets, a box truck is the ticket. It can navigate tight streets and parking lots much more nimbly than a semi-truck.
Less regulated
If your shipment can fit in a box truck, it is the less-hassle option. In many jurisdictions, box trucks have fewer regulatory restrictions than larger commercial vehicles. Using a box truck simplifies compliance, making the logistics process smoother, and reducing administrative overhead for the carrier.
Cheaper to operate
Box trucks are less expensive to operate than larger freight vehicles. They use less fuel, require less maintenance and have lower insurance premiums. Spending less on all these aspects of our business, we pass the savings on to our box truck customers.
Searching “box truck delivery near me?” How to pick the right service
Once you have decided box truck is the way to go, you need to find a delivery service to provide the truck and driver.
You want to consider
- reputation,
- experience,
- fleet size,
- coverage area,
- insurance and licensing,
- timeliness,
- customer service, and, of course,
Cost is last on the list, because overall value is more complex than just the price for delivering from point A to point B.
Ask the potential carrier about their reputation for reliability, punctuality and customer satisfaction. They should be able to give you percentages for each category, i.e., “we are 95% reliable, we deliver 98% on time, and we have a 96% satisfaction rating.”
Look at the carrier’s experience:
- How long have they been in business? Are they growing?
- What percentage of their business is repeat customers?
- How long do drivers stay with the company, on average?
- Do they have the knowledge, skills and resources to handle all your needs effectively?
- What if your needs change? Can they pivot quickly?
Evaluate the size and condition of the service’s box truck fleet. What is their maintenance program like? Do their trucks have liftgates, temperatures controls (when needed) and security mechanisms?
Does the carrier regularly deliver in your area? Can they go the distance for your longer-haul needs? Are they licensed and insured to operate in your region? Do they have liability insurance in case your items get damaged in transit? Ask for proof of insurance and licensing.
Timeliness is crucial in our business. Ask the potential courier about their Cincinnati parcel delivery and Cincinnati freight delivery on-time records, along with their procedures for tracking shipments and providing updates to customers.
