Does customised transport involve taking into account the distance between the loading point and the delivery point? Is it about measuring pallet dimensions or assessing the risks associated with the goods being transported?
It’s much more than that. Let us tell you more!
Customised transport refers to transport services specifically designed to meet the customer’s unique needs. This is time-critical transport that can be planned according to the requirements and sensitivity of the load.
Let’s take a few concrete examples where this type of transport is essential. Imagine a company needs to ship a machine to a factory, requiring delivery within two days. To save time, the customer might request the use of several drivers to avoid compulsory rest periods, thus speeding up delivery.
Additionally, the volume and weight of the machine may require a particular loading method, which in turn demands a specific type of vehicle (for example, loading via an overhead crane will require a fully curtain-sided vehicle).
In another case, a museum is preparing an exclusive exhibition requiring the transport of valuable works of art. The client will choose a trusted carrier, with two drivers and special onboard loading equipment (four-wheel dollies, hand trucks, etc.).
Another example is international air freight for a sensitive part needed to restart a broken-down machine. The distance and urgency make air transport essential, but the sensitivity and critical importance of the shipment require arranging a “hand carry” service.
In this case, the parcel is handed directly from the sender to a dedicated courier who, after reaching the nearest airport, boards the flight with the parcel by their side, and finally hand-delivers it to the end customer on the other side of the world.
These are the kinds of situations where we talk about customised transport — and the possible scenarios are endless. The client presents their constraints and explains the stakes, and thanks to our expertise, we implement a tailor-made solution with meticulous attention to detail.
In short, at Joker Courses, customised transport services are at the very heart of what we do. Since 1999, we have specialised in urgent transport and have built a strong network across Europe.
