days.<\/p><p>The last piece of advice is to set up an appointment with the freight company for delivery as soon as it ships out. \u00a0Ask your supplier for the number and make sure if an appointment needs to be set up, it is set up. \u00a0Otherwise, the product may sit in a local terminal for an extra day while they call you and set up an window for delivery. \u00a0So this makes sure you get the product as soon as it arrives in town.\u00a0 This is almost always the case for residential type deliveries.<\/p><p>If you need a traffic safety product such as traffic cones or <a title=\"barricades\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/c-72-barricades.aspx\">barricades<\/a> within a certain date we will do our best to help you out. \u00a0Check out our website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\">www.trans-supply.com<\/a> or call us directly at (866) 930-4604.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this industry, planning ahead is not always an option and when you need something you usually need it ASAP. \u00a0Lots of companies will say they can get your product to you on time but following through with that promise can be an issue \u2013 and the last thing you want are fines from the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[246,1],"tags":[304,294,305,261],"class_list":["post-1045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-traffic-safety","category-transportation-safety","tag-barricades","tag-freight","tag-lead-times","tag-traffic-safety-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1045"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1045"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1935,"href":"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1045\/revisions\/1935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
