Efficiency of Customer Service in Road Transport


Such was the title of the yearly road carriers' conference organized by PKS Gdańsk-Oliwa SA. This time it was held between 27th and 28th October 2007 and it gathered representatives of more than thirty Polish road transport companies, which strictly cooperate with PKS on a daily basis. Speakers such as professor Włodzimierz Rydzkowski and professor Zdzisław Kordel of the University of Gdańsk touched as important questions as the quality of transport services and fitting them into more and more diverse needs of the clients. Traditionally one of our major clients presented organization's requirements and expectations towards transport service providers taking her company an example. The speech was welcome with understanding and the fact it was made directly to those who were concerned was the advantage. The lecturers also paid lots of attention to such important matters as how to prepare and to secure shipments for transport and the security of shipment in transit. The lectures lasted until 7 PM, when finished as usual the hosts gave an official dinner for all the participants combined with live music entertainment in the latino rhytm.
