Freight Emergency

Both Rubs and The Courier Shop are compiling names of transport professionals to follow on twitter.

Transport is very competitive and often very collaborative, so it’s a good idea to follow people in the same industry. Not only can you find the most up to date transport related news, but if you cannot cover a piece of work you have a source of potential sub contractors.

If transport related followers are just what you are looking for, why don’t you pop over and have a look and add a comment with your details.

In the next few days, The Courier Shop will be launching their twitter for couriers and other transport professionals ebook, so if that is of interest to you, why not bookmark the page and come back to it?

I was looking up some info on You Tube earlier today and I came across this video.

The commentary isn’t in English and it only lasts a few seconds, but it shows what could happen if you transport live fish.

Couriers are generally not allowed to transport livestock, although it is possible to transport live fish such as Koi, if they are contained correctly.

That must have been dreadful to clean up and the fish probably couldn’t be saved - they were being covered with some sort of sand towards the end of the clip.

The correct packaging can prevent a lot of damage if your vehicle goes over, so can the correct training of your driver. Saving money on packing is a false economy, if your vehicle goes over and your goods are damaged your customer is let down and your supply chain is broken.

Don’t let that happen!
