What a useful record should achieve
- Clear collection and delivery facts
- Cargo, handling and timing assumptions written down
- A price request that an operator can evaluate
A practical four-step approach
- 01
Define both locations
Provide the actual collection and delivery areas, site constraints and responsible contacts rather than city names alone.
- 02
Describe the load
State the pallet or item count, total weight, dimensions, stackability and any special handling requirements.
- 03
Set the operating window
Record collection readiness, delivery requirements and whether the timing is fixed or flexible.
- 04
Ask for written assumptions
A responsible proposal should show its scope, exclusions, evidence basis and what still needs confirmation.
Questions to ask before proceeding
- Is the cargo ready and correctly described?
- Are loading and delivery constraints known?
- What evidence supports the proposed vehicle and price?
