The best truck driving jobs are not necessarily the shortest or the longest, but involved manufacturers packaging and managing their products effectively and efficiently, which helps the driver move the goods more easily. Where time is wasted over managing the movement of the goods, everyone in the supply chain suffers.
How Good Is the Packaging?
When a manufacturer’s goods have been packaged at the warehouse, moved via logistics to the ultimate trailer and delivered days later across the other side of the country, the goods may still need to be moved from the receiving warehouse and travel to retailers and end use customers. Where some businesses attempt to save too much money on their packaging, the goods may not arrive in pristine condition despite every person in the chain managing the product perfectly.
Should manufacturers talk to drivers, they will be better able to understand why the best truck driving jobs may be partly chosen by individuals who understand which manufacturers and goods are being shipped by their logistics provider.
Finishing the Job
Almost everyone appears to have a story about receiving home assembly furniture, only to find damage parts. This causes the customer an element of outrage, particularly when they find how difficult it is to replace the single part required to complete the furniture’s assembly.
When the manufacturer listens to the stories, they may better understand why the best truck driving jobs are preferred by drivers who can always deliver perfect goods and on time. Drivers do not wish to deliver inaccurate or damaged goods, having travelled several hundred miles cross-country. Having goods refused causes a multitude of problems for the trucker and everyone involved in the chain.
Feedback of every drivers’ difficulties will be shared between the truckers as they meet both online and during food and bathroom stops, during long journeys. They will exchange stories about the best and worst of manufacturers goods, often understanding the problems that are occurring, suggesting a simple solution because of their experience of dealing with a wide range of manufacturers.
