  • ​Security Tag Protocol: Before departing for the collection, ensure that you have a unique security tag assigned by the Transport Manager.

 

1.2 Loading the Vehicle

​

  • Coordination with the Client: Upon arrival at the pick-up location, introduce yourself to the client and confirm the details of the move. Clarify any special instructions or concerns they may have.

  • Client Responsibility: The client is responsible for loading their belongings onto the vehicle. As a driver, your role is to ensure that the items are organized and securely arranged within the vehicle to prevent damage during transit.

  • Securing the Load: Once the client has loaded their belongings, ensure that everything is secured using straps, blankets, or other protective materials as necessary. Confirm that the load is evenly distributed to maintain vehicle balance.

  • Security Tag Protocol: Once loading is complete, securely attach a unique security tag to the vehicle’s rear door latch.

  • Digital Weight Confirmation: Once the vehicle is fully loaded, you are required to use the digital weight confirmation tool provided by the company to record the total weight of the load. This confirmation must be sent back to the company headquarters before you depart from the collection site. This ensures that the vehicle is not overloaded and adheres to legal weight limits.
