How to find goods for rail transportation on the Moldovatruck website

Rail transport is an important part of the system of regional and international freight transport. The main task of logisticians of transport companies organizing the transportation of goods by rail is to ensure that the existing rolling stock does not stand idle. Ideally, arriving at a particular station, the wagons should be immediately unloaded, loaded and sent on their way. The rolling stock of the railways is expensive, in order to quickly pay for it and start making a profit, it is necessary to minimize downtime, and this requires cargo.

How to find goods for rail transportation on the Moldovatruck website

The creators of the Moldovatruck website have been working in the field of international and regional freight transportation for many years and know the whole system of their organization from the inside. Therefore, there are two possibilities to search for railway cargo on the website:

1. Studying the applications of cargo owners for transportation by rail allows you to find cargo online. Immediately after placing an application on the site, it is available to all visitors. The contact details of the consignor are open, and logisticians of transport companies can immediately contact the consignor. Properly and correctly conducted negotiations usually end with the signing of a contract of carriage. You can view the announcements of shippers in the section “View railway cargo“. You can go to this section by activating the “Exchange” button in the main menu of the site. To speed up the selection of suitable ads, the page provides a filter by countries of loading and unloading cargo.
2. If the first option of searching for railway cargo did not bring the desired result, you can place your own announcement on the site pages about the available rolling stock and readiness to carry out transportation. To do this, at the top of the same page, activate the “Add your transport” button. Fill out the drop-down application form and activate the submit button in it. Soon your application will appear in the section “View and search for railway transport“. The Moldovatruck site works for its visitors, so your contact details will be available to everyone. Soon you will be contacted by those who need to transport cargo by rail.

It is better for logisticians of transport companies to work ahead of the curve and constantly use both options for searching for cargo – regularly review shippers’ announcements and constantly update information about their rolling stock, which should be released. This is how you can achieve maximum efficiency in using the site to search for railway cargo.

How to negotiate with a potential client so that they end with the signing of a contract for the carriage of goods

Basic requirements for any negotiator: competence, courtesy, sincere interest in solving the interlocutor’s problems. It should be understood that a significant part of shippers knows little about transportation. Their professional interests are concentrated in other areas of the economy and they need help. Become a consultant: help the client choose the rolling stock he needs and offer options for arranging transportation.

You shouldn’t be intrusive. Any person is arranged in such a way that he does not like to carry out the decisions imposed on him. Therefore, the shipper must make the decision to conclude a contract with you for transportation. Your task is to demonstrate a professional approach, courtesy and willingness to solve the client’s problems. This is usually enough for the shipper to make the right decision and hire you to arrange the shipment.

Regularly use the opportunities provided by the Moldovatruck website to search for railway cargo and your rolling stock will not be idle at dead ends.
