In continuity with the articles on hiring transport, here we will talk about the quality in the transport operation. It is essential to check and validate how the carrier plans its delivery and what quality programs the company uses to ensure that its cargo arrives as agreed and contracted.

As the purpose of the TRANS REID BLOG is to focus on simple solutions to complex problems we have selected a series of suggestions to be taken into account when hiring a carrier to ship your product and serve your customer, your greatest good. In this article we speak of the hiring observing the quality in transport that is directly linked to obtaining certifications that shows the commitment of the carrier with the quality of its operations.

1) The carrier is empowered to provide the services only after issuing its registration at ANTT, so to hire it it is necessary to request it.

2) ISO-9001-2015 certification is a guarantee that the company has a quality program deployed and in some ways attests the concern to provide a service that guarantees the quality of the activity.

3) ISO-14001 certification, meeting the requirements for the implementation of an environmental management system enabling all organizations, regardless of their size, to develop sustainable practices in their business: products and services. A carrier that cares about these practices attests to its environmental responsibility.

4) ISO-45001 certification, the replacement of OHSAS 18001 is the international standard that specifies the requirements for a work safety and health management system, with guidelines for its use, to improve proactively the OSH performance in the prevention of Injuries and diseases.

5) Environmental programmes are also important for transport companies, after all, vehicles contribute to a significant portion for air contamination. TRANS REID has the program of the Depolluter deployed for the control of pollutant emitters of the fleet itself and the fleet of third parties. This measurement is made every six months and finally the environmental licensing of CETESB are mandatory for the operation of a carrier and it is important to request it.
