Any cargo transportation should be accompanied by the necessary documentation, otherwise it is not to avoid problems with law enforcement agencies – this is known to everyone.
Therefore, a company that transports an oversized cargo must collect a package of documents that allow transporting. The difficulty is not only that it is difficult to collect all the documents, but also that not every vehicle is suitable for this task, plus the driver’s qualifications and its experience are of great importance.
A package of necessary documents
When collecting the desired documentation, problems often arise with obtaining a special resolution. Road services, where the company sends the application, carefully check the dimensions of the cargo, and also take into account the complexity of the route. Coordination is sometimes delayed up to two to three weeks, for example, if we are talking about transporting an ultra-gap.
In total, seven main documents that are necessary for transportation can be distinguished:
Documents for the vehicle.
The driver should have: a passport (or another document that certifies his personality) and rights. It is also recommended to have medical insurance with you.
Special permit for the transportation of oversized goods (it is with this document that problems most often arise).
For legal entities – the presence of a license card without fail. For a private person, licensing is not necessary (of course, if transportation does not bring monetary benefit).
Travel sheet.
A power of attorney for receiving is an optional document, but it is still recommended to have it with you.
During commercial transportation – insurance policy for cargo and TTN.
In order to avoid troubles with the law enforcement agencies, it is necessary to coordinate the route in advance, as well as the conditions for transportation with the traffic police or the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in addition, it will not be superfluous to coordinate from the Department of Internal Affairs of those regions through which the overship of the oversized cargo will be carried out.
Difficulties in the design
The design of a special permit for transportation may have some difficulties. For example, the route is unknown (respectively, the company will not know the exact mileage), or the date of receipt of cargo. Negotiations can be delayed and ultimately not lead to the conclusion of a full -fledged contract. Many companies do not take on such transportation due to the impossibility, in case of force majeure, replace the vehicle.
In different cities of the country, there are many companies that carry out oversized transportation (Nizhny Novgorod – one company, Moscow is another and so on). It is best to conclude an agreement with the company that is ready to offer transportation of cargo throughout the country (sending and receiving anywhere). Two important arguments speak in favor of such a choice: drivers know almost all regions of the country well, and the second one – the company has representative offices in many cities of Russia.
