Our Services
We’ve helped customers save hundreds of thousands of dollars with Smith Specialized Logistics solutions. From evaluation to planning to execution, we pay personal attention to all the details of our customer’s projects. We do this by an integrated three-step process.
Evaluation
Planning
Execution
Evaluations
The first question we ask ourselves when presented with any project is can it be done? Then, what are the possible routes? Then, which configuration and trailer options can be used? The answers to these questions will determine the degree of difficulty and the amount of planning needed to execute.
Planning
Careful planning and attention to all the details is at the core of any Smith Specialized project. We handle feasibility studies, route approval, and permitting with all necessary government entities. Every state, and sometimes city, has their own rules and regulations based on the size and weight of loads. With our experience and knowledge of these guidelines, we are able to create solutions for projects that other companies say can’t be done.
Execution
We are actively involved while all loads are being transported. Smith Specialized remains in constant contact with our carriers and any other government or utility entity involved in the project. Our attention during the evaluation and planning phase allows us to execute the most difficult of loads without surprises.
