Investigate the travel route for overpass clearances. Make sure that there is adequate clearance for the machine that is being transported.
Remove ice, snow, or other slippery material from the loading dock and from the truck bed before you load the machine onto the transport machine. Removing ice, snow, or other slippery material will help to prevent the machine from slipping in transit.
