It is normal to find trucks without use, in poor condition or wasted, when a company does not have the necessary administrative elements to direct this line of business and make it profitable, it becomes an impossible task to achieve. This was what caught my attention about the company in which my friend works Transporte de carga. C omo producing company executives realized that the quality of the transport service I had hired was not expected. They measure the times and costs of the service and determine that they must make a change.
A few weeks ago, I visited the facilities of a freight forwarding company, this thanks to the invitation of a friend who serves as General Manager. In my Customs and International Transport company, SEAL , I have been able to serve different companies that request the freight transport service. Some of them only ask for international maritime freight; Others request that we include land freight transportation and others contract directly the freight transportation services to national companies.
The decision to carry out this modification leads them to make the decision to invest in transport units, but the management direction, pushes more towards the transformation and gets the partners to authorize expanding the investment to transport service units, starting with a workshop for engines. As time goes by, they add a workshop for gearboxes, a workshop for chassis maintenance and repair, a tire supply, a maintenance and paint repair workshop.
On some occasions I have been contacted by companies that want to add ground transportation to their foreign trade operations, for example, companies that produce food, packaging, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables. Some of these companies have made the decision to buy transport units and have assigned this new unit to the structure already formed, which has resulted in some success stories and others have rendered the unit receiving the assignment inefficient and have decided sell the fleet of trucks on many occasions at a price lower than what they bought.
