The plastics processing industry in Brazil is the 4th most used sector. According to data from the IBGE of 2018 referring to the sector, it is estimated that more than 325 thousand jobs are generated, mainly in the Southeast and South. Businessmen in the industry are optimistic about the excellent outlook for 2019, betting on the political factors that tend to be favorable to the growth of the economy.

The growth of the sector has a direct impact on the development and expansion of the logistics chain. In order for the maintenance, storage and distribution to match and meet this growth, it is necessary to plan and adapt vehicles and field staff to optimize resources, promote cargo safety and comply with PGR – “Risk Management Plan”.

The vehicles most used for the shipment of plastics, mainly as raw material, are the vehicles with sider or open body, that facilitates the handling, the optimization of the load, taking care of the cases of open body, with tie and canvas for protection and integrity of the products.

Another prerequisite, quite pertinent, are the conditions of risk management. Some basic measures of safety and product integrity are vehicle tracking, Field Team, responsible for moving, collecting and delivering the products.
The transport of finished plastic products already presents a completely different profile. Due to the fact that it is a light and bulky load, the use of truck with trunk truck facilitates the handling, the use of the available bin. In this case, the added value of the product does not always require tracking and monitoring for these shipments because they are loads low risk, although there are some exceptions.
