A: Our head office is at 5 Yaldwyn Road, Jet Park, Boksburg. Call 011 966 0500, Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 16:30. - Q: What size trucks do you have? A: Our fleet runs from 1-ton light delivery vehicles to 34-ton superlinks: 1 to 3-ton LDVs, 4 to 14-ton medium vehicles, tri-axles and superlinks, with closed body, curtain side, flat deck, drop side and refrigerated options. - Q: Are your vehicles tracked? A: Yes. Our real-time, web-based satellite tracking monitors speed, harsh braking, door openings, temperature fluctuations and trailer unlocking. Violations are reported in real time and acted on by our 24-hour control room, and onboard cameras are monitored 24/7. - Q: What is the difference between FTL and LTL? A: A full truck load (FTL) fills one vehicle that goes directly from collection to delivery. A less than truck load (LTL) shares space with other consignments on a consolidated shipment, so you pay bulk rates for a smaller load. - Q: What are Nominated Delivery Days (NDDs)? A: Nominated Delivery Days are the set days on which each depot delivers to an area. Lead times per area are listed in our NDD schedules, and we work with you to align your delivery points to them. - Q: Why consolidate my freight? A: Combining multiple orders into single consigned shipments lets you take advantage of bulk transportation rates, save time and conserve resources. - Q: Can I hire a truck from Vital? A: Yes. Through Vital Fleet we rent vehicles on a daily, monthly, ad hoc or dedicated basis, from 1-ton vehicles to 34-ton superlinks. - Q: Is maintenance included in truck rental? A: Yes. Maintenance, servicing and tyre replacements for normal fair wear and tear are included in the monthly rental. - Q: Can you transport refrigerated goods? A: Yes. Refrigerated vehicles are part of our fleet, and temperature fluctuations are monitored in real time by our 24-hour control room. We also build small refrigerated vehicles for dedicated contracts. - Q: What is Vital's B-BBEE level? A: Vital Distribution Solutions is a Level 2 B-BBEE contributor under the Integrated Transport Sector Code (Road Freight), with 125% procurement recognition.
