In the January issue of TransportTalk, we look at the new partnership between freight matching platform TNX Logistics and freight management firm Coda Group.
The businesses discuss the benefits and cost savings of using cloud-based technology which provides real-time information on how best to use fleets and manage cargo volumes.
TransportTalk also speaks with truck distributors about highlights from the past year and a look at the year ahead. Despite some market headwind predictions, there doesn’t seem to be any slowdown in the world of trucking and transport.
We also look at the upcoming February 28 Food Act registration deadline. New Zealand Food Safety manager Sally Johnston discusses the implications of the act and what it means for businesses that transport, store or distribute food products.
Meanwhile, real-time information on national freight volumes is being used in a new online gross domestic product measuring system developed by a team at Massey University. We look at the system and the role of transport firms such as KiwiRail in providing data.
Health and safety at Sime Darby group is a number one priority and TransportTalk looks at a new ladder-free initiative across the firm’s work sites. Truck modification work, often carried out at height, is now performed on customised platforms to reduce the risk of falls.
Plus, TIL renews its Farmlands contract, Ford celebrates light commercial dominance, TransDiesel qualifies for Volvo Masters, and RTF responds to the Government’s $1.4 billion road safety investment.
