I became a dealer for a fiberglass pool manufacture. Somehow as i was filling out all the paperwork and sending in a check, i forgot to think about acouple of things.
I am going to have to transport some pools from my yard to jobsites. The pools come on a semi from San Antonio. They can get 10 pools on a truck at a time. They tell me its a $10,000 trip from TX to NJ. However, they try their best to corodinate deliverys wither all their dealers on the east coast. Shipping should only cost me about 1500 a pool.
I thought i could just have the semi drop the pools off on site. But at some job sites there is no place to drop the pool. And if i order 5 pools at a time, i can't have pools sitting at houses for a month. Especially since the semi can only drop the pools curb side.
So i'm going to need a 36-40 ft gooseneck trailer. I have been reading the on the njdot website, and i am going to have to deal with oversized permits and all that. Do i have to hire a escort vehicle when required? Or could i just set one of my own trucks up with strobes?
Worst part is i am going to have to have a crane come and load up the pool at the yard.
Anyone have any suggestions for me?
