Transporting heavy machinery requires detailed planning. With the help of his team, Brian selected a flatbed trailer for the operation. Transporting the 1980 International 986 tractor was bound to be easy thanks to their previous experience transporting similar tractors. The flatbed trailer had to be prepped before the tractor could be loaded. The weight-bearing capacity of the trailer was checked, when it proved sufficient, the 1980 International 986 tractor was loaded. The driver had gone through the logistics and took over the operation when the dispatch team was ready.
The operation was scheduled to last three days. The driver was asked to make regular stops along the way for breaks and integrity checks. The next day, the driver relayed the operation’s progress to Brian, who, in turn, passed the information to the client. Each step of the operation had been accounted for. When the rain started pouring, the driver used a tarp to cover the1980 International 986 tractor before resuming the journey.
