1. Know Your Truck Inside and Out

Mr. Nguyen Van A, a logistics expert with over 20 years of experience, shares: “Managing a truck is like taking care of a demanding spouse; you need to understand every detail, from its ‘personality’ to its ‘health’.”

Indeed, having detailed information about each truck in your fleet is crucial. Create a digital profile for each vehicle, including:

• Basic Information: License plate, truck type, load capacity, year of manufacture, chassis number, engine number, color,…
• Maintenance History: Scheduled maintenance dates, replaced parts, maintenance costs,…
• Operational History: Mileage, frequently used routes, fuel consumption,…

Digitizing this information allows for easy tracking, updating, and retrieval when needed, enabling timely and accurate decision-making.

2. Choose a Reliable “Partner in Crime”

The driver is the “soul” of the truck, responsible for the safety of both people and goods on each trip. Therefore, choosing a driver with solid driving skills, extensive experience, and a high sense of responsibility is paramount.

Besides providing comprehensive training in transportation operations, you should also focus on fostering professional ethics and raising awareness of traffic laws for your drivers.
