With BICO…Think Both Inside and Outside of the Box


We established that we move sheds…it’s sort of our thing.

But remember…

We do a lot more!

In fact...let’s say it again (shouting this time)

WE DO A LOT MORE!

The “inside of the box” ideas are easy…

  • Sheds and small buildings
  • RV’s
  • Vehicles

And you should think about us for all of those things.

But…

What about “outside of the box”? The tricky stuff to move? The things that you should have probably hired a freight company to move because it would have saved time, money, and frustration?



Let’s throw out some examples…

(Just for the fun of it (and well...give you some ideas on how we could help you))


Churches – Most churches start off really small in a rented or borrowed space. As they grow, they hopefully move into their own building (years pending usually). Since all money is given or donated, churches have to think smartly.

Church pews for example are really expensive. Chairs are a cheaper option, but you know deep down that they want pews. There are well used to well preserved pews for sale all over the internet.

The question is how do you get the pews from the seller to the church? BICO Transportation.

Plus…don’t forget the piano that has to be moved too.


Demolition Derbies – Yes, the drivers haul their own cars on their own trailers, but what about the cars that they have staged on the course prior to the derby; the ones that are there for hiding behind and sneak attacks?

How do those wrecked non-running cars get to the fairgrounds? BICO Transportation.


Auctions – Speaking of wrecked cars, how do you get that vehicle home after it is bought at the auction? You can’t normally drive it home, and yes there are some big buyers that bring their own trailers.

In fact, we saw these two guys the other day driving down the freeway. Each guy was in his own truck. Behind each truck was another truck, which was smashed up, being towed with a tow rope. We were in the middle of nowhere, and so these guys had to have been driving for a while. There was this close situation that could have caused an accident; resulting in the guys pulling to the side of the freeway and trying to “fix” things. This could have been avoided if they did things right the first time.

How do you get your “new” wrecked auction vehicle home safe and sound? BICO Transportation.


Pipes – Big, long, and heavy pieces of pipe get moved across this country every day for cities, builders, farmers, etc. They are transported from the manufacture to the company that purchased them by barges, trucks, and trains.

But then it comes to you…the buyer (aka “the end user”). How do you get the piping to the job site? The answer usually comes down to three choices (we said usually).

Choice 1: Pick it up yourself in your pickup truck and make multiple trips. Waste of time, money, labor, and gas.

Choice 2: Pay freight by either paying the store to ship the piping, or hire a trucking outfit yourself; either way you’re still paying for a semi. Depending where you’re at (remote farm for example) trucking companies may only go out your way once a week, every two weeks, and in some cases once a month (people deal with this all of the time). Plus you have to pay for the high cost of shipping this way.

Choice 3: BICO Transportation. Lower shipping/freight costs, and you don’t have to wait weeks for your pipe; resulting in getting the job done on time.


These are just four examples of thinking outside of the box, and we’re sure that each of you can think of plenty more examples where BICO can step in and help.

Let’s throw in one more example for the fun of it…


Living on the Western side of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, we get a lot of rain, thus keeping everything green; which means that people need to mow their yards all year long (for the most part and depending your exact location).

There is a needed job market for lawn care services. Companies have trucks that pull trailers filled with a lawn mower, weed wacker, rake, and everything else that they need to get the job done. They drive the truck from the office to the job site.

We don’t help with that part. We help in another area.

We help get the new equipment to the lawn care company. Once a company starts really growing, they can’t keep up on the workload, and so they hire more people and buy more equipment.

Sure…

You can throw a push mower and a weed wacker in the back of a truck, but what about when the company buys (all at once) three new riding mowers, four push mowers, and four of everything else?

They either pull three or four trucks and crew off of their jobs, or they use BICO Transportation.

We are the best for the reason. We are honest. We love what we do. We are quick. We do as promised. We have lower rates for similar shipments.

And…

We do what other trucking companies can’t or won’t do.
