National Logistics Day: The Ease of Driving for PTP
National Logistics Day: The Ease of Driving for PTP
Logistics is defined as the business of transporting and delivering goods. Logistics contains material handling such as packing and labeling, transportation, warehousing, inventory, management, demand projection and procurement. Logistics is often referred to as the backbone of commerce, and PTP Transport plays a crucial role in the logistics industry. PTP Transport is dedicated to transporting goods that consumers and businesses need to live and conduct business, as well as prioritizing the wants and needs of our drivers.
Driver/Dispatcher Relationship
Dispatchers serve as communicators, teachers, problem solvers and safety consultants to drivers. Not only do they assist our drivers throughout their transportation careers, but they contribute to the maintenance of our company’s culture. Here at PTP Transport, we put the wants, needs and safety of our drivers first. PTP Transport dispatchers are not just people in a call center that you have minimal contact with. Our dispatchers are involved co-workers who understand the challenges of your job and work to resolve issues quickly and help you adjust as needed. Drivers and dispatchers are on an even playing field when it comes to communication, and they work together to advance the trucking industry. Our driver-dispatcher relationships are a top reason truck drivers enjoy driving with us.
Pre-Planned Routes
Planning and organization is essential for the operation of the logistics industry. PTP Transport provides pre-planned routes for drivers, aiding in trip organization and ease of travel. Pre-planned routes contribute to the efficiency of a trip by allowing our drivers the opportunity to plan and gauge factors such as weather, time and rest stops. Pre-planned routes make the journey more cost-effective, minimizing the distance and maximizing the deliveries. When pre-planned routes are out of the question, unwanted risks may arise. These risks include adding unnecessary miles and cost to the trip, potentially resulting in a late delivery.
Not only do pre-planned routes also make the trip environmentally friendly by saving gas, but they allow drivers to manage their fatigue, rest time and availability to retrieve the amenities needed. Sleep is an important part of maintaining the mental and physical safety of truck drivers as well as surrounding drivers on the road.
PTP Transport Honors the Hardworking Professionals in the Logistics Industry
The operation of logistics wouldn’t be possible without the drivers who devote their time to the road. PTP Transport highly values our drivers and offers an array of benefits. As a family-run business, we keep in mind that the truck-driving lifestyle can be difficult, and that family time is one of the most important aspects of life. PTP offers home-based resets, which allow you to spend time throughout your work week at home with your family. We offer health benefits, financial benefits, driver referral bonuses and more. The root of success is growth and development. PTP Transport understands experience is essential to growth in the trucking industry. Where there is opportunity, there is room for advancement.
National Logistics Day celebrates, honors and recognizes the hardworking professionals who keep the industry running. PTP Transport is proud to play an imperative role in logistics and provide numerous benefits to our drivers to offer them the best experience possible.
