Road freight is a critical part of any supply chain. All shipments moved by modalities such as air-sea-rail all require road freight prior and after the main leg. Europe’s road freight market is extremely fragmented with over 550.000 registered operators. From companies operating one van or truck up to the largest operator owning 8.000 trucks. To make it even more complex there are many brokers/forwarders active in the market who do not necessarily add value to the process.

Relevant questions to ask:

• How do you select the right carrier for your specific business?
• How do you balance between quality and cost?
• How can you minimize operational workload when selecting a carrier, when onboarding them, exchanging order information and obtaining status updates, handling customer queries and paying freight bills?
