  1. RIAD DALOUSSI SHARES TOP 5 EQUIPMENT LOGISTICS MISTAKES TO AVOID

  2. Introduction Riad Daloussi is a Canadian entrepreneur working in both the machinery and real estate industries. Riad Daloussi supplies farm and construction equipment across North America and helps international brands enter the Canadian and U.S. markets. With years of experience in shipping, supply chains, and development, he understands how small mistakes in logistics can lead to big delays and losses.

  3. 1. Not Planning Early Enough One of the most frequent mistakes is leaving logistics to the last minute. Many companies assume that booking transport a few days before the deadline will be enough. But equipment logistics is more complex than moving boxes. You may need permits, escorts for oversized loads, or extra time to coordinate loading and unloading. When planning happens too late, you’re left rushing, and that’s when delays and extra costs show up.

  4. 2. Poor Handling Damages Equipment Heavy equipment may look strong, but it’s not. Poor handling during loading, unloading, or transport is a leading cause of damage. Machines that are not properly secured can shift during transit, leading to mechanical issues, broken parts, or safety risks. Handling should always be done by trained teams using the right tools, cranes, tie-downs, and protective covers. It’s also important to follow weight distribution guidelines, especially for long-haul trucking or sea freight.

  5. 3. Poor Partner Communication In logistics, many different people are involved- suppliers, freight companies, customs agents, site managers, and receivers. If everyone is not fully informed or in sync, the whole operation can fall apart. A missed email or unshared update can cause delays, confusion, or lost shipments. Good logistics require good communication. All key parties should have access to delivery schedules, tracking info, and contact details.

  6. 4. No Backup for Delays or Storage Even with great planning, things don’t always go as scheduled. Maybe the job site isn’t ready. Maybe bad weather causes delays. If your equipment arrives too early, or gets held up somewhere, you need a safe place to store it. Not planning for this can lead to machinery sitting outside, unprotected, or taking up space at the wrong location. A good logistics plan includes temporary storage options. Whether it’s a nearby yard, warehouse, or covered staging area, having a plan B avoids last-minute stress.

  7. 5. Ignoring Last-Mile Issues The final stretch of equipment delivery, known as the last mile, is often the most challenging part of the entire logistics process. Even when machines arrive safely at the local port or warehouse, reaching the actual job site can be difficult. Narrow roads, unstable ground, lack of unloading equipment, or absence of on-site personnel can cause unexpected delays and safety risks. Without proper planning, these final delivery issues can stall projects and lead to extra costs.
