„Pilot“-status for truck drivers of Müller Transporte

Reorganisation of truck use increases flexibility, security of supply and quality for the customers of Müller Transporte (Wiener Neudorf)

Müller Transporte’s truck drivers are now working now as professional as pilots. They get completely and individually prepared trucks at the start of every trip, and give them back afterwards. Thus the customers of the specialists in the field of temperature-controlled transports benefit from greater flexibility of the entire fleet. At the same time, the drivers are relieved.

„Times when each truck driver had been responsible of ,his truck‘ before and after his trip and actual work, and also had to spend the rest periods in it are over. We place great emphasis on professional working conditions for our drivers, optimised fleet utilisation and flexibility for our customers,“ says Fritz Müller, CEO of Muller Transporte.

With immediate effect the trucks at Müller Transporte are issued centrally, returned, cleaned, checked and then used for a new trip with a new driver as soon as possible – similar to what is already practiced successfully in aircraft, trains or in rental cars.

Thanks to the flexible design in the occupation and utilisation of the truck, drivers can spend their weekly rest periods regularly at home with their family. If the „captains of the road“ have no possibility to go home between two trips, the company provides them a hotel room for free.

Müller Transporte is a logistic link between industrial companies, manufacturers and retailers throughout Europe. Precise pickups and deliveries contribute to the smooth flow in the economy every day. With the reorganisation of the truck use Müller Transporte is making an innovative step but also securing its position in the highly competitive international shipping industry.

„It has always been part of the philosophy of our family business, to possibly implement all contracts with our own employees and own vehicles. The more flexible use of our truck fleet will be a benefit for our customers every day,“ Fritz Müller is convinced.

Müller Transporte GmbH with headquarters in Wiener Neudorf was founded in 1959. The company has 200 highly modern refrigerated semi trucks. At its four company locations in Austria and neighboring countries, the company employs 390 people. In temperature-controlled transport Müller Transporte counts among the most powerful logistics service providers in Central Europe and has its own cool-storage and warehouses.
