Where customer centricity transcends borders
Functional, cross-border supply chains are essential for the economy. Industrial and trading companies are therefore dependent on logistics partners capable of orienting themselves to customer needs, communicating on equal terms and being a one-stop shop for comprehensive, international solutions. When it comes to transporting items reliably, one career group is of particular importance, and makes up the majority of Swiss Post Cargo’s workforce. Francisc Szobo gives us a glimpse into his daily working life as a driver for Swiss Post Cargo.
Introduction
It’s 6.30 a.m. on a winter’s morning in Aldingen, Baden-Württemberg, and only a few cars are on the roads. Some passers-by wander along the icy streets, and some shops already have their lights on. While the rest of the world is waking up, the industrial estate has already reached operating temperature. The front door to Swiss Post Cargo’s reception desk opens every 30 seconds, truck drivers entering and waiting to have their papers checked – with varying degrees of patience – before they can carry on.
With a big smile and in good spirits, Francisc Szobo walks up to the counter. The 58-year-old truck driver is receiving his latest instructions for the day from his leader. After that, he’s on his way: getting pallets ready, loading goods, securing cargo for transport – and off he goes.
