There are numerous reasons, some of which are novel experiences, adrenaline, catharsis, etc. But <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2021\/10\/the-psychology-behind-why-we-love-or-hate-horror\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>a requirement for enjoyment is safety<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><b>We need to know that we are safe in order to enjoy the feeling of fear.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the shipping industry, we come across many horrors and we, unfortunately, don\u2019t have the feeling of safety we do when we\u2019re watching movies. That doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t strive to be as safe as possible during shipping! That\u2019s right! <\/span><b>There are ways to make even freight shipping safer, and dare we say, fun!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you\u2019ll want to pay attention to are the packaging, documentation, carrier reliability, and insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freight Packaging<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/palletizing-freight.png\" alt=\"How to palletize your freight for safety of your shipment\" width=\"620\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/palletizing-freight.png 620w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/palletizing-freight-300x286.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>The first step of the shipping process is the packaging<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Before you\u2019ve even requested a shipping quote or even looked at your shipping options, you should have your shipment properly packaged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases that means <\/span><b>palletizing or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/freight-shipping-guide\/how-to-crate-freight-for-shipping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crating your shipment<\/a><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the more common of the two being palletization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for this is that crates are somewhat more expensive. We recommend using them when your shipment is very fragile or very valuable. In most other cases, placing your shipment on a pallet will be more than enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have a detailed, yet very easy-to-follow guide with <\/span><b>step-by-step <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/pallet-shipping-in-15-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>instructions for palletizing and shipping your cargo<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you follow the instructions listed here, you\u2019re more than certain to avoid the horror story of damaged freight. You\u2019ll be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the spookiness in safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipping Documentation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We won\u2019t go as far as to say that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is the most important step to take care of during freight shipping because they\u2019re all important. However, making sure your documents are in order is the \u201cNightmare on Elm Street\u201d (original, of course) of classic horror movies. Definitely up there, and you don\u2019t want to miss it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The documents used by shippers for every single freight shipment are the <\/span><b>bill of lading, shipping labels<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and after the shipment has been delivered \u2014 an <\/span><b>invoice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common documents that are not always used, but is mandatory for cross-border shipments is the <\/span><b>customs invoice (or a commercial invoice)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For an in-depth look into the world of shipping documents, we recommend taking a look at our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/freight-shipping-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">definitive guide to freight shipping documents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carrier Reliability<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This step is for the connoisseurs of the horror genre. It\u2019s not something that will take care of, and it\u2019s not the most important thing to take into account. <\/span><b>It\u2019s still important though, so don\u2019t skip ahead just yet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason that this step is not as important when it comes to safety as some of the other ones on this list is that most carriers are just trying to do their jobs, and they\u2019re trying to do it right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that said, <\/span><b>not all carriers are the same<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some are more reliable than others whether it be punctuality, damage or loss percentage, service or tracking accuracy, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why this step is still incredibly important if you\u2019re looking at price second, and making sure <\/span><b>your shipment is delivered on time and in one piece<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll want to <\/span><b>look at the carrier ratings on the Freightera website<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make sure you pick the right one for your shipping needs. You may also want to <\/span><b>check their Google reviews<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>ask our staff of shipping experts for advice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before you commit yourself to a carrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the icing on the cake. It\u2019s the hot chocolate or spiced wine that will keep you cozy and secure during your shipping experience. A spooksperience, if you will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve recently returned third-party insurance to our system which you can use to <\/span><b>instantly insure your cargo for the desired amount without having to wait or talk to anybody<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (if you don\u2019t want to). <\/span><b>You simply select your commodity type, enter the value, and voila<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a price appears for you to accept or decline based on your preference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This section is relevant for many of our customers because the standard carrier coverage for most carriers is only $2 per lb. That means that a shipment of 500 lbs would be insured for $1000 regardless of its value. Whether that\u2019s a lot, just enough, or not even worth looking at is for you to decide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this information should help keep you safe during the spookiest time of the year for our clients \u2014 <\/span><b>the shipping season<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In all seriousness, though, we hope that you enjoyed reading this article and that you\u2019ve learned a thing or two.
