P&R Trucking, Inc., has provided Intermodal trucking services since 1983. We are uniquely qualified to provide excellent service including same day and weekend pick ups and deliveries whenever possible.

Typical Service Process
Customer calls our office for a price quote for import or export service. P&R provides a free price quote based on distance to the loading or unloading point, special services required like weight tickets, loading/unloading time estimate, insurance coverage for the value of the commodity, etc.

Customer and P&R agree to the pricing structure.

Once a price has been agreed to, the Customers calls, e-mails or faxes to us booking or container information for the terminal and shipping lines contracted for the ocean shipping component. Customer also submits their request for a service schedule.

P&R takes over the service request by verifying all information is consistent with the shipping lines so there will be no expensive delays getting the equipment in or out of the terminal. If there are any problems with the service information P&R notifies the customer before a truck is dispatched saving everyone from unnecessary expense. When all information is verified the dispatch is radioed to one of our trucks who enter the terminal to collect the import or export load. If requested the container is weighed before it leaves the Port facilities.

The driver/truck proceeds with the container to the point of load/off load. At this time the driver will verify all shipping documents with the customer location. This includes a bill of lading provided by the shipper and a hand tag provided by the driver which identifies the shipper, the steam ship lines, booking information, commodity trucked, arrival time, departure time, and any other relevant information requested by the shipper.

The driver will exit the customer location, weigh the load again if needed and return the container to the appropriate terminal where a proof of delivery document is generated.

Upon completion of the service the driver turns in all the paperwork to our office and an invoice for service is generate with all the back up documents identified above or as required by the customer.

Service is now completed to the satisfaction of all parties.
