When placing an order for transportation, the carrier company receives the necessary information about the characteristics and properties of the cargo, the weight of the cargo and its exact dimensions must be taken into account. The logistics specialist of the carrier company deals with these issues, he also determines the most convenient and safe mode of transport for the carriage of goods. Also, a logistics specialist is engaged in creating the conditions that are necessary for the transportation of certain types of cargo - this is the maintenance of the necessary moisture and temperature conditions.
The type of packaging for the cargo must be determined, which will protect it from possible mechanical damage, both during transportation and during loading and unloading operations. All goods that may be subject to deformation must be packed in a rigid frame, while the load must be well fixed. In addition to fixing the load in the frame, the frame itself is also fixed in the vehicle. If an expensive cargo or important documentation is transported, then they are placed in a special bag, which must be sealed.
Valuable goods are placed in safe bags, which must also be sealed. All modern seals are good protection against unauthorized access. Each place in the transport carrying out the transportation of goods must be marked.
