Intercity delivery planning works best when everyone has the same information. A useful transport brief makes it easier to assess the route, vehicle requirements and delivery arrangements.
Build a complete route brief
List the exact collection point and destination rather than only naming the cities. Include contact people, gate access and any difficult approach roads. If there are several delivery stops, provide them together so the full journey can be assessed.
Be realistic about timing
Share the preferred collection and delivery windows and explain any fixed receiving deadlines. Timing depends on the route, vehicle availability, handling and conditions on the day. Confirm the agreed schedule directly with the transport team before making commitments to your customer.
Describe the cargo clearly
Provide weights, dimensions, package counts and handling instructions. Mention temperature-sensitive or fragile goods early. These details help the team consider vehicle suitability and identify questions that need to be resolved before quoting.
Agree the handover process
Choose a clear point of contact at collection and delivery. Have documents ready and agree how receipt will be recorded. If your plans change, inform the logistics team as early as possible so they can review the effect on the booking.
