TRUCK TRANSFER

Truck Transfer has been created for the purpose of consolidating today’s highly fragmented truck transfer services offered primarily by small independent organizations or alternatively by internal resources which are being taken away from their core responsibilities. Small service providers in this market segment typically employ drivers at the lower end of the pay scale, operate without their own insurance ,CVOR & DOT and do not adhere to the rigours of safety and compliance mandated of their customers or by the regulatories goverment bodies. This is a risky alternative for client organizations. Allowing poorly trained external drivers to move a valuable asset is a recipe for disaster. Companies that use internal resources for the purpose of vehicle transfers will typically use fully qualified drivers or in-house maintenance/supervisory personnel. This results in a lack of focus for these highly paid personnel. In this case, drivers are directed at non revenue generating hours which inherently leads to dispatch and scheduling problems and flexibility is reduced. The use of in-house mechanics to reposition assets is a problem in that these skilled resources are asked to do lesser tasks rather than being deployed to optimize their “billing rate” as fully licensed mechanics. The use of supervisory staff to transfer vehicles only adds “noise” to an organization as more important tasks back up and daily efficiency declines. The organization loses in all three of these cases.
