We specifically designed our transport department to meet the
various needs of our customers. To that end, our set of vehicles
involves different types:
- Vehicles for delivery
- Road trucks
- Refrigerated lorries and
refrigerated bi-temperature trailers truck
REQUEST
FOR TRANSPORT
All
day long, our planning department encodes each one of your particular
requests for transport : pick up, delivery, return of goods
or empties, return of empties ...
At
the same time, our order picking department transmits its requests
to the planning for the next day deliveries (all of which is
computerized).
Closure
time for next day requests (D+1) happens around 5 pm. A highly
qualified staff then establishes the layout of the trucks, assisted
by a planning assistance program. We take numerous criteria
in consideration : time constraints of the consignee, nature
of the goods (fresh or frozen), equipment and human resources
… while aiming for the most optimal efficiency of the
loading..
LOADING
- UNLOADING
As
soon as the planning has been established, we print the road
sheets, the loading attendance and the control lists for the
pick ups (which will arrive to us in the evening or at night).
As
the merchandise is available and checked (pick ups which came
back to us, orders picked, release of items from warehouse…),
we load the trucks in total respect of the cold chain.
At
present, we are developing a loading process using bar codes
for checking.
THE
ROAD
On basis of the road sheets established the previous day - at
the same time as the delivery slips -, the vehicles set off on
their rounds, from 4:30 am on, after making sure that they carry
all the required documents for each stop, signed or to be signed
(CMR-road sheets, delivery slips, empties… )- all of which
will be certified by computer reading when they return to the
office).
In our field, the vagaries of the road are our worst enemies (road
works, accidents, breakdowns, delays…). That is the reason
why King is equipped with all the possible technical means currently
available in terms of communication (cell phones, GPRS, GPS…).
This allows us to respond as quickly as possible to any kind of
unexpected situation, in order to provide you with a service that
respects your schedules and needs.
A very well-trained maintenance division keeps our vehicles spotless
on a daily basis and our drivers are fully aware of the requirement
for perfect cleanliness.
Every day, KING covers the Benelux. Some departments of France
(08, 59 and 62) are delivered several times a week. Other destinations
are available on simple request.
