I know it’s a very busy and challenging time of year, with rising fuel prices, staffing difficulties and road & rail disruptions. So I just wanted to shoot a quick video to say thanks for the good work and give a quick update on the platform.
Although I know most customers are delighted with the service, its still great to hear it again. Here is one that really stood out to me;
On time with pick-up and delivery. They kept in contact with me, informing me where vehicle was after pick-up and when in transit.
Called me when 15 minutes away from drop off point.Excellent service.
And here is another:
Need an engine shipped from Bundaberg to Melbourne. Tried quite a few of the big name companies and obviously were not interested.
Found a great company on Truck it who completed the job inside 5 days door to door with no issues at all.
The first shows how much customers appreciate communication. It sounds like that provider made things by using the app to enable tracking. In my opinion the highlight in the second review is all about the customer recognising that our providers are often more flexible with greater service standards. Great work!
While we haven't specifically been looking for more business to business jobs, a lot more manufacturers, wholesalers and civil projects have been reaching out to us to find good quality providers. It means an greater need for pantechs, skels, flat tops, curtainsiders, low loaders and more. These businesses generally have terms and conditions that go above what most consumers would expect, but the pay off is the chance of longer-term work, easier loading & unloading and pickup and deliveries to the same locations while dealing with the same people.
To give yourself the best chance of landing a slice of this work, make use of the insurance uploader for your certificates of currency, and keep your Truckit rating high.
Lastly I just want to say thanks to all of the transport providers who have kept Australia moving through the year!
Stay safe on the road and have great Christmas,
Rob
Key Takeaways Pallets might not be flashy, but they’re the backbone of freight and logistics. Whether you’re sending one item or a full truckload, chances are a pallet is doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. But here’s the thing – not all pallets are the same. Pallet size, weight, and capacity can seriously impact how efficiently your goods are moved and how much it’s all going to cost. That’s why getting familiar with pallet dimensions isn’t just for warehouse professionals – it’s something every business (big or small) should know. A poor fit can mean wasted space, damaged goods, […]
Key Takeaways From January 2025, Australia will introduce mandatory climate reporting laws – a major shift aligning business operations with national climate goals and international frameworks like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. It’s part of a growing global push for accountability as governments and industries set clearer expectations on how companies disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. For the transport and logistics sector, the impact is especially significant. With transport emissions making up a large portion of Australia’s carbon footprint, freight businesses will soon be required to track, measure and report their emissions across the supply chain – from fuel use […]
