Transportation logistics / 03

Put the handoffs
in the picture.

A transport request can involve more than the journey. Include the people, places and warehouse requirements that affect it.

A / The movement

Describe the route
you have in mind.

Share the origin, destination and what needs to move between them. Note any additional stop or warehouse requirement that belongs in the discussion.

B / The handoff

Add the details
between locations.

Include site contacts, appointment information, loading considerations and the documents or instructions already available to you.

C / The open questions

Make the unknowns
part of the conversation.

Point out dates, quantities or requirements that are not yet confirmed. Service scope, scheduling and any quoted terms should be agreed directly before work is arranged.

Freight + warehouse

One request can
cover both questions.

If goods need warehouse handling as well as transportation, include both in your inquiry. Describe the intended sequence and where you need clarification.
