Bunking and Unbuncking

Bunking, a specialized service offered by Central Iowa Towing, revolutionizes the transportation of heavy freight, ensuring efficiency and security. Picture those highways with trucks carrying multiple trailers in a line – that’s bunking in action! This innovative technique involves stacking one truck on the back of another, akin to a piggyback arrangement, to enable seamless hauling of goods.

The Art of Bunking

Bunking is a meticulously planned and skillful process that demands precision and expertise. It all starts with loading one truck, known as the power unit, and positioning one or more additional trucks behind it. These trailing trucks are firmly connected to the power unit using a fifth wheel or saddle connection.

Loading and Unloading: Bunking and Unbunking

Our experienced team handles the bunking process with utmost care, ensuring optimal weight distribution and stability during transportation. This crucial loading phase guarantees that the decked trucks are securely fastened, eliminating any movement while on the road.

At the destination or designated transfer point, the process is reversed, called “unbunking.” Our team carefully unloads the trailing trucks from the power unit. Once unbunked, these trucks can either continue their journey independently or serve for specific local deliveries.

Three Truck Bunking

Central Iowa Towing specializes in an advanced freight transportation method known as three truck bunking. Here, three trucks are securely stacked onto one another, making the most of available resources to efficiently transport heavy cargo. A powerful unit serves as the base, while two additional trucks are placed and fastened above it using a fifth wheel or saddle connection. With our skilled team and top-notch equipment, we guarantee a safe and efficient solution for hauling multiple trucks in a single journey, thereby reducing transportation costs and environmental impact while saving valuable time. For all your three truck bunking needs, trust Central Iowa Towing and experience a seamless and successful freight transportation experience.

The Efficiency and Advantages of Bunking

Bunking offers numerous benefits that make it the preferred method for transporting heavy freight:

Optimal Resource Utilization: Bunking maximizes the power unit’s capacity by carrying multiple trucks in one trip, reducing the number of required trips and making better use of available resources.

Cost-Effectiveness: Transporting multiple trucks simultaneously lowers transportation costs per unit of freight, making bunking an economical choice for long-haul journeys.

Reduced Environmental Impact: Fewer trips needed to move the same cargo means reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a positive impact on the environment.

Time-Saving: Bunking significantly cuts down transportation time, as multiple trucks can be delivered to different destinations in a single trip.

“My partner slid off of an exit ramp near Story City. Patrick was out there in 20 minutes and got the car out quickly and expertly out of a drainage ditch. He even followed us up to the local gas station to make sure that the car still drove without any problems. I’m incredibly satisfied with the service — fair price, kind people, and expert service!”
