Maximum Efficiency and Unparalleled Customer Service
Every single one of the thousands of daily movements made by A.W. Jenkinson Transport vehicles is planned, tracked and analysed by our ever-growing traffic team.
Our skilled and experienced Transport Controllers, many of whom are former drivers, have a detailed knowledge and understanding of the transport industry and can identify exactly what is required to ensure maximum efficiency and unparalleled customer service. They make sure goods are moved in the most efficient way, taking into account everything from planning the safest way to load and unload goods to monitoring each delivery as it makes its journey.
Strategic Hub Network
Control of vehicle movements is carried out at three strategically located main sites in Penrith, Lockerbie and Chippenham. Having these key planning offices gives A.W. Jenkinson Transport national coverage from the South Coast right up to Northern Scotland as well as further afield into mainland Europe.
Because there is a growing demand for Transport Planners, the Company has developed a very successful apprenticeship scheme. Participants learn to manage collections and deliveries, taking into account route planning, reducing empty running and costs. They also develop the skills needed to manage drivers and deal with day-to day-issues including drivers’ hours and health and safety, and of course liaise with customers to ensure a high-quality service. After two years, they earn a nationally recognised Supply Chain Operator qualification.
