The Challenge
A soybean farmer in Aberdeen, SD, contacted William Thomas from our Fort Lauderdale office. The farmer was in the process of expanding their fields and farming business, so they purchased a used Case IH Steiger 600 Quadtrac Tractor in Plentywood, MT. However, it was essential the tractor arrive within the week, because the farmer needed time to prepare for planting season.
Strategy:
Ensuring The Quadtrac Tractor Was Delivered On Time
Because the client needed the tractor delivered by a specific time, William decided the best way to ensure this was to find a driving team. A team can switch drivers and stay within DOT driving time regulations. Even though it was a short distance, this ensured the driver didn't have to pull over for required downtime. William contacted a team with a lowboy trailer to transport the oversize Quadtrac Tractor. They were happy to dispatch that day, which worked for everyone.

Solution: Pulling Required Permits and Dispatching in a Timely Manner
William made sure to pull all the appropriate permits. Because the tractor fell into oversize regulations, he had to ensure the proper paperwork was done for legal and safe transport. Once he had everything together, he dispatched the drivers and contacted the client to let him know that the tractor was on the way.
Result: A Soybean Farmer Received Their Tractor Safely and On Time
Because of William's quick thinking to use a driving team, the Case IH Steiger 600 Quadtrac Tractor was delivered the next day. That was sooner than the client expected, as other companies had quoted him higher prices and longer delivery times.
The soybean farmer used the tractor to cultivate their soil and prepare for planting season.
