Boxing Your Shipment
You should always try to use a new box when packaging a shipment for hot shot service. If your only option is to reuse a box, then it must be in good condition, with no rips or tears. The box must be big enough to hold the contents and to allow for proper cushioning. Each item should be wrapped separately by about 5 cm of cushioning material.
Using proper cushioning material is also a must. Do not wrap any items in clothes, blankets, or newspaper. Much better options for packing up items for hot shot service from Calgary or Edmonton include: cell bubble sheeting, air bag, packing peanuts, engineered foam, crumpled Kraft paper, or corrugated inserts.
Just as important as proper cushioning is ensuring that your box is securely closed and wrapped. It is recommended that you use either a two-inch pressure-sensitive or nylon reinforced filament tape. Masking type, paper over-wrap, cellophane tape, or even duct tape may not be strong enough to secure your shipment.
Ensuring that your package is well-cushioned and securely closed will make it easier to handle. Make sure that you have the proper moving equipment or enough people to carry a package to the drop-off location, and that whoever will be accepting it at the receiving end is also well-equipped to safely handle the package when it arrives.
Preparing a Freight Shipment
If you have a substantially hefty freight shipment to send by Edmonton or Calgary hot shot service, then you may have to place the shipment on a pallet (well, some shipments we have to get them to remove the pallet because will not fit through the door of the Navajo or the King Air). Finding the right size pallet to hold all your items can help keep costs down and make for safer packing. Load the pallet by placing all items as close as possible to one another before securing everything firmly in place with multiple layers of plastic wrap.
