On most websites, this part is vague and fairly standard.
When you have worked with us, you know this will not be a standarised message. We base our vision on reality rather than on dreams and phantasies.
Everyone is talking about the carbon footprint: we are working with lorries, which drive up to 1900 kilometers between 2 hubs, in 28 hours (yes double-men teams and a truck swap).
When we tell the customer, we have an alternative, but we have to add 48 hours to the transit time: they will not choose it.
When we tell the customer, we have an alternative, releasing less CO2 into the air, but we must increase the rate by 20%: they will not choose it.
When we tell the customer, that we can book his container on a very modern ship, which uses alternative fuel, but consequently the rate will be higher: they will most likely not choose it.
So what we do, is using the best planners with the best planning software, building our own database with important information, in order to plan as efficient as possible. We employ the best forwarders available, who can reposition our trailers to where we need them, avoiding empty-running and avoiding unnecessary pollution.
Yes, we do have all new trucks, with the latest technology on board, and we do check the tyre pressure of all tyres constantly, as well from the truck as the trailers.
Yes, we do try to integrate inter-modal solutions when it is possible and suits the customer.
And when we would be in the business of running a fleet of vans or small trucks and driving mostly locally, we would be able to do far much more. The development in that sector is enormous.
We cannot live without our drivers and staff. Honoring my father’s philosophy, we treat them as fair as we can, with good wages and excellent conditions. We have been doing this for more than 50 years and we will keep on doing this in the future.
Our vision is simple: give our customers the best possible service and make sure our drivers and staff are being treated well, so they are able to perform at their top of their ability. This, as well, we will keep on doing in the future.
The saying goes ‘ happy wife, happy life’, but for us it is ‘ happy staff, happy boss’.
