The logistics expert Andres checks the location of transported goods via TomTom WEBFLEET. These devices not only enable the Andres team to view covered distances, driver operation characteristics and working hours information, but it also enables the team to send text messages and order information directly to the TomTom devices in the driver’s cab. This real-time information also provides status information for all orders due to the integrated HD Traffic and IQ Routes technology. This technology also gives information about the estimated arrival time of transported goods. This follows the Andres guideline to reduce any time and energy waster and to use every hour to the optimum on behalf of the customer.

Carrier Andres complies with the new pan-European regulation for transport companies [Verkehrszugangsverordnung für Verkehrsunternehmen], which is coming into effect on 4th December 2011 and appoints Patrick Andres as Transport Manager [Verkehrsleiter]. Patrick is qualified by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce to take the responsibility on and has extensive knowledge about all vehicle-related services like maintenance, repair, transport contracts, documentation, accounting, freight distribution and safety inspection. Violations against the transport regulations may result in the revoking of the “accreditation“, according to the EU-legislation 1071/2009. Unfortunately, consistent transborder data is still missing.

It’s correct that some printing machines won’t fit on a truck or two. In this particular case it actually took eight trucks. To get a machine of this magnitude to Madrid on schedule for its assembly at a certain time, all necessary papers and truck journeys need to be perfectly planned and alligned. In this case, carrier Andres coordinated the credit handling with the bank. International transport requires that the whole job has to be noted in the required CRM letter of consignment. Keeping the transport on time was also of utmost importance. Job well done!

The visitors of the Oktoberfest in Eddy Hausmann’s beer hall were probably not aware that the transport of the floor of the huge tent was in the capable hands of the Andres team. The mega event started on 22nd September and hosted up to 2,500 people underneath its solid roof.

From now on, Andres transports all kinds of containers. It can now deal with orders which are not purely transported on the road, but also with multimodal transports via ship or train. By using container chassis on all Andres trucks it is now possible to achieve a transport weight of up to 30 tons.

This proves to be more economic – and thanks to reduced fuel costs also more environmentally friendly. Carrier Andres operates according to its motto: safe, reliable and clever. A well-rehearsed team takes care of your freight enquiries.
