Warehouse: - Mainly focuses on storage of goods. - Typically used for long-term storage. - Often located in one central location. - Goods may stay in the warehouse for extended periods until they are needed. - Example: The company's warehouse in a remote area where excess inventory is stored for long periods, awaiting redistribution to retail stores or distribution centers as needed. Distribution Center (DC): - Focuses on the efficient movement of goods. - Used for short-term storage before distribution. - Often strategically located closer to customers or transportation hubs for faster delivery. - Goods typically move in and out quickly, with minimal storage time. - Example: The same company's distribution center located near a major city, where goods are received from suppliers, sorted, and quickly dispatched to retail stores or directly to customers to meet demand in a timely manner. In essence, while both warehouses and distribution centers store goods, distribution centers are more dynamic in their operations, focusing on rapid movement and distribution of products. 🎓 Exciting Training Courses Ahead! 🌟 1.

#An Extra Mile, To care for Safety. The Business Continuity of every logistics and transport company lies solely in the hands of the asset drivers. Assets lost due to accidents can ruin a business.

If all the assets are written off to accidents, then your business ends. and those same drivers quickly migrate to another company. Every HGV driver needs a safe cushion,and this is possible when their hearts and minds are in line with the organisations' safety policies. To get the best out of your truck drivers, you must be ready to invest in their trainings, welfare and a promising career beyond the wheels. Remember, they have personal issues to deal with also. The cost of training your drivers can't equal the cost of purchasing new assets. #Safe_By_Choice

- Blind Spot Awareness - A vehicle blind spot is an area around a vehicle that the driver cannot directly see while operating the vehicle. It's important for drivers to check their blind spots by physically turning their heads before changing lanes or making turns to avoid collisions with vehicles or other obstacles that may be lurking out of sight. Keeping a distance from vehicle blind spots is crucial for safety because drivers may not be able to see other vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles in those areas. If you're too close to a vehicle's blind spot, the driver might not be aware of your presence and could accidentally collide with you when changing lanes or making maneuvers. Maintaining a safe distance reduces the risk of accidents and gives both drivers more time to react to unexpected situations. #blindspot #logistics #onroadactivities #transportation Jacob Mwanansoga || Dedicated Transport and Logistics Manager
