Driving a flatbed truck

Our transport operations are largely based on the “bygel” concept, and to a large extent, we avoid spending time on loading and unloading, which means we can often complete quite a few trips each day. However, there is a tendency to cut corners on certain essential safety measures in order to save time. That is why we have put together a training program and instructional video that highlight these procedures. The goal is for these procedures to become second nature to those who transport goods, thereby eliminating the risks that would otherwise arise.
