Transport Company

The transport company of the 21st century is more than just a collection of commercial vehicles and a selection of drivers. It is faced by commercial constraints caused by a global recession and lower spending by its clients. It has therefore been forced to offer better customer service, better turnaround times and more comprehensive solutions. It is a leaner, meaner operation, able to withstand the stresses of a competitive environment that is more cut throat than ever before. This is good news for business owners who can be sure that the transport company they select as a partner has had to undergo a trial by fire in the last few years, chances are that if they’re still around they’re going to be the cream of the crop. However even these trying times have not weeded out a few fly by nights. Care should still be taken to make sure that the transport company selected has the right credentials for the job, both now and in the foreseeable future.

The selection of a transport service provider should take into account the company’s ability to provide turnkey solutions to transport challenges. Today’s transport solutions require that the company be conversant in project planning, logistical management, fleet management and warehousing. The challenges presented by the highly competitive business environment can be compounded when goods are to be transported across state lines, a common occurrence in resource rich sub Saharan Africa. If such services may be required then the selection criteria must include a familiarity with various legaslitive and customs requirements across this region. Experience in this area is a must as the legal requirements and ‘off balance sheet’ payments differ widely in the south of Africa.

The choice of a transport service provider will directly influence the success of a business, one mistake can have extremely serious consequences, business owners will not get another chance if a delivery does not reach its destination on time and intact.
