Packing for Chemical

Of late some of you are sending chemical through courier services. By right it should not be. Chemical and any other dangerous poison must be specially packed and to be transported by specially arranged transportation.

Once upon unloding from the line haul lory, the poor quality carton box gave way and the glass container broke when hit the road. Fume and hurting smell choked my men. The chemical also melted the road surface. Without further thought we nuetralised it by pouring lots of water to it. (Wrong way of treating a spilled chemical,of course.)

Of late, my lory driver suffer allergy due to leakage of chemical he was carrying. Thus we have decided, either chemical is packed strongly, otherwise, we will not deliver in a bonded truck. Clients must collect from office.

First Time In this Life-time











Gula is NOT under NTB service coverage. However, due to some urgency, client requested our Premium Service---- a sure reach arrangement. Of course we have a special charge for such services.
Can you imagine, it was my first visit to Kuala Gula...a colony of fishermen along the river near to the river mouth flowing into the Straits of Malacca.
Along the way you can see how some Kuala Kurau fishermen breed their prowns and fishes. When I reached the end of the road, I wondered where to find the consignee. He was out. Some how he got his family member to lead me to the house. My van was getting along the narrow pathway between two rows of houses. I managed to deliver the parcel on time.
