My blog focuses on Financial Literacy/Money, Business/Entrepreneurship and Technology. If you have a business that involves the use of large machinery, a major consideration for your is shipping that machinery. The following contributed post is entitled, The Logistics Involved In Shipping Large Machinery.

Shipping large machinery is a huge operation. Whether it’s the physicality of hauling extremely heavy gear to the inherent safety element, the shipping company needs to make sure they have all their ducks in a row.
One of the most important steps is the initial assessment. When you’re needing to move very large items, a thorough logistical analysis is in order to determine the weight, key dimensions, and what sort of transportation class is required. There’s also the matter of where the items are being sent, and a considerable amount of documentation to work through.
Once everything has been processed, it’s time to secure the cargo. Many large machines require a customized setup to allow for maximum stability during transit: bracing is achieved via a complex arrangement of straps, chains, and more, and it’s often the case that a given machine will need to be partially disassembled to be moved safely. Sometimes, the entire machine is taken apart – manufacturers actually design their products with transportation in mind, with the ability to be reconfigured in several different ways to allow for the flexibility required.
Anwar Y. Dunbar is a Regulatory Scientist. Being a naturally curious person, he is also a student of all things. He earned his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of Michigan and his Bachelor’s Degree in General Biology from Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU). Prior to starting the Big Words Blog Site, Anwar published and contributed to numerous research articles in competitive scientific journals reporting on his research from graduate school and postdoctoral years. After falling in love with writing, he contributed to the now defunct Examiner.com, and the Edvocate where he regularly wrote about: Education-related stories/topics, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Financial Literacy; as well as conducted interviews with notable individuals such as actor and author Hill Harper. Having many influences, one of his most notable heroes is author, intellectual and speaker, Malcolm Gladwell, author of books including Outliers and David and Goliath.
Anwar has his hands in many, many activities. In addition to writing, Anwar actively mentors youth, works to spread awareness of STEM careers, serves on the Board of Directors of the Friends of the David M. Brown Arlington Planetarium, serves as Treasurer for the JCSU Washington, DC Alumni Chapter, and is active in the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace Ministry at the Alfred Street Baptist Church. He also tutors in the subjects of biology, chemistry and physics.
Along with his multi-talented older brother Amahl Dunbar (designer of the Big Words logos, inventor and a plethora of other things), Anwar is a “Fanboy” and really enjoys Science-Fiction and Superhero movies including but not restricted to Captain America Civil War, Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Prometheus. He is a proud native of Buffalo, NY.
