Continuous Transport for Time-Critical Deliveries

Kimro Transport offers a dedicated double driver transport service for long-distance routes requiring uninterrupted transit. By assigning two certified drivers to a single vehicle, rest periods can be alternated without halting movement, allowing the vehicle to stay in motion across extended distances.

This setup is ideal for time-critical shipments that must be delivered within tight deadlines across Europe. The double driver system reduces transit time significantly compared to single-driver assignments while remaining compliant with European driving and rest regulations.

Operational Structure

In this service configuration, two qualified drivers share the same transport unit. One driver operates the vehicle while the other rests, following legal driving hour restrictions and crew management protocols. This enables the team to cover longer distances within a 24-hour period while maintaining full legal compliance.

The service is managed through central dispatch and is available for both full truckload and specialized cargo. Vehicles used in this setup are equipped with GPS, cabin monitoring, temperature logging (when applicable), and cargo security features including SBS locks and sealed compartments.

Application and Use Cases

Double driver transport is frequently used for:

• High-priority freight with fixed delivery slots

• Aircraft or ship spares

• Medical shipments and pharmaceutical products

• Automotive production parts (just-in-time deliveries)

• Emergency restocking for retail or industrial supply chains

• Perishable goods requiring time-sensitive delivery

This model is suitable for both ambient and temperature-controlled goods. Pre-inspection of cargo and required delivery window is carried out during booking to determine feasibility and driver shift allocation.

Geographical Scope

Double driver transport is available across the full European network, including:

• Netherlands

• Belgium

• Germany

• France

• Spain

• Italy

• Austria

• Eastern and Southern Europe (on request)

The dispatch team evaluates route conditions, rest zones, border operations, and driver shift transitions as part of every assigned mission.

Booking Process

Clients submit a request indicating that double driver transport is required. The planning team will confirm feasibility based on destination, lead time, cargo specifications, and driver availability.

A full trip plan is then provided including:

• Estimated transit time

• Pickup time and required availability

• Delivery time window

• Insurance details

• Optional value-added services (e.g., temperature reports, secure parking, escorts)

Once approved, vehicle preparation and scheduling commence immediately. Vehicles are dispatched from the Kimro fleet or a designated location nearest to pickup.

Compliance and Reporting

All double driver transport is compliant with EU Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, governing driving and rest periods for professional transport crews. Kimro maintains complete logs for each shift rotation, GPS route mapping, and delivery timestamp confirmation.

Clients may request custom reports for SLA validation, including vehicle movement history and handover logs. Digital POD is provided upon delivery.
