Serving the market with logistics and transportation services requires a basic understanding of how to serve.
Sizing the load and defining the best equipment to embark on is the beginning of everything. To know what is the best equipment for the load, first you need to answer some prerequisites:

1) Product to be transported * This is the most important item to define, safety, quality and speed of vehicle release.

2) Cubation of material

3) Packing Type

4) How is the place of loading and unloading

5) If the load is loose or palletized

6) What type of restriction exists at the place of loading and unloading

7) Types of accessories needed for support (lashing, wedge, stand, gusset, lumber)

8) Manual loading and unloading equipment

Knowing the load profile and degree of risk is essential to comply with the insurer’s risk management plan.
Define the vehicle to be used. In this case it is necessary to ascertain the type of body most suitable for safety, mobility and ease during loading and unloading.

Once you have defined the vehicle and equipment to be used you can make the route faster and safer. Know the restriction areas and also the streets of the route where the circulation of trucks is prohibited, before clearance.

So this process, the next step is to issue all documentation and endorse the load with the insurer. To keep the process agile, having EDI with major insurers facilitates electronic registration.

To avoid surprises while providing services, issuing a checklist helps the operational team in validating compliance with all prerequisites. And to finalize the vehicle release, the vehicle is tracked and the electronic manifest is released for mobile tracking.

All these activities are performed by the Operational team and keeping the focus on the whole process so that all items are checked and communicated to the field team and aligned with the clients makes the result excellent, avoiding returns or occurrences in the process.
