Today, everyone who wants to transport cargo faces the difficult task of choosing. A huge number of transport companies are vying with each other to offer their services, luring them with low prices, high speed, large coverage of the territory and, of course, service. Not least among these advantages is the ability to track your cargo along the way. Read how to do this below.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a transport company, do not forget to clarify whether it is given the opportunity to track its cargo on the way. And here options are possible.
Operators or managers of the selected transport company can provide you with information either by your phone call or by offering to use the electronic cargo tracking system. More and more companies supply their sites with a similar system.
Moreover, some of the representatives of this market offer SMS informing service. Its frame will include SMS messages that you will receive every time your cargo is sent or arrives at the warehouse of a transit city (or destination).
Step 2
In order to receive SMS notifications, you just need to indicate your phone number in the application for transportation. If the company does not provide such a service, or you consider such a method of informing ineffective or insufficient, use the cargo tracking system posted on the website. To do this, do not forget to ask the manager the email address of the company's website and the data identifying your cargo.
Step 3
Once on the website, find the page on which cargo tracking is carried out. Enter the details of your shipment (as a rule, this is the number of the consignment note) in the appropriate field.
Most likely, you will immediately see information about his location or the time of arrival at the nearest point. If the information does not open, check that the credentials you entered are correct. If everything is correct, contact the manager or operator of the transport company - he will certainly be able to help you understand the situation.
Step 4
Do not go on the road for the cargo without a preliminary call to the company manager - for a number of reasons, you may not be given it on that day, but later. One of the reasons may be the payment that has not yet arrived (if the payment is by bank transfer, and you do not have special agreements with the company), another - the schedule or overload of the warehouse. Only after receiving confirmation that the cargo is awaiting you, you can safely go after it.
