Reality in Freight forwarding (drivers and dispatch)

Where the daily grind breaks down

Everyone in Freight forwarding (drivers and dispatch) knows these problems, and none of them has a good answer as long as communication stays analogue.

01

The driver learns of a route change by phone, often while loading

The dispatcher calls, the driver has no free hand, the information fizzles out. Waiting time, wrong turns, stress.

02

Safety and ADR briefings hard to prove

Mandatory briefings are signed off on paper, and the paper stays in the office. At a BAG audit the proof per driver is missing.

03

Delivery note and loading photos spread across private phones

The driver photographs the loading with a private smartphone and sends it over WhatsApp. Problematic under data protection law, hard to find again.

04

Rest periods and tachograph topics hard to communicate

Instructions on tachograph operation, rest period obligations and GMP+ hygiene are given verbally. During an inspection, there is no proof that the driver was informed.
