Equipment Logistics operations

Equipment Logistics.

End-to-end programs for OEMs and dealers, from port arrival through processing to final delivery.

Equipment logistics is the program that knits the others together. An OEM moves units from a manufacturing site or port of entry, through PDI and any pre-delivery prep, and out to a dealer network across the country — and the carrier needs to handle the entire chain visibly and consistently. JBH runs that program for several heavy-equipment OEMs.

What it looks like: containers arrive at port, drayage moves the containers to a JBH stockyard, units are destuffed, inspected, washed, wrapped if the OEM specs it. Dealers pull units off a shared inventory dashboard. Heavy haul carries them on JBH equipment to dealer yards. Every unit is tracked from manufacture to delivery — VIN, location, status, photo evidence at each handoff.

Per-unit pricing for low-volume programs, master rate agreements for OEM partners. Same operations team running the program from day one — we don't subcontract the relationship.

HOW WE WORK

Quote to delivery, one ops team.

  1. 1

    Send the specs

    Equipment, weight, dimensions, origin, destination, and any site constraints. A spec sheet or photo helps — but a phone call works too.

  2. 2

    We engineer the move

    A JBH operations engineer routes it — bridges, restrictions, low clearance — prices permits, picks equipment, and assigns the driver. Quote back in 4 business hours.

  3. 3

    We dispatch and track

    Our truck, our driver, our dispatcher on the BOL. You get one point of contact and status from pickup to signed POD.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What you can count on.

  • Engineer-quoted rates

    Routed by a person, not an algorithm — permits and escorts priced in, not added later.

  • Asset-based capacity

    Our trucks and trailers. We don't broker the hard ones out to a stranger.

  • One ops team

    The dispatcher who quotes your load is the one who runs it — no brokered re-handoffs.

  • Live dispatch, 24/7

    A real agent answers — never voicemail — for the life of the move.

FAQ

Equipment Logistics — common questions.

How fast can I get an equipment logistics quote?

Send the details through the quote form or email quotes@jbharrisgroup.com. We come back with a rate, route, permits, and timing. For urgent moves, call 770-251-8921.

Is JBH asset-based or a broker?

Both. JBH runs 35 company trucks with a full trailer mix out of our Equipment Processing Centers, and a vetted carrier network for everything else. Oversize and heavy moves run on our own authority.

Does JBH handle permits and escorts for equipment logistics?

Yes — permits and pilot-car/escort coordination are handled in-house across the jurisdictions we run, and priced into the quote up front.

What information do you need to start?

Equipment or commodity, weight, overall dimensions, origin and destination, any site constraints (overhead, access, security), and your required pickup window. A spec sheet or photo is helpful but not required.

Got a equipment logistics move in the planning?

Tell dispatch what you're moving and where. Engineer-quoted rate back in hours, not days — route, permits, equipment, and ETA window included.
