Jason Bonny, a delivery driver from Asda, Portadown, demonstrated exceptional customer service and dedication to his job by assisting a wheelchair user with putting away her shopping while out on his rounds.
Going about his day on an ordinary delivery shift, Jason encountered an address that wasn’t on his usual route. Approaching the front door, he noticed the house had been renovated for disability access and was greeted by the home delivery customer, who was a wheelchair user.
Jason said hello to the customer and indicated he would carry the shopping into the house for her, he then began to unpack the groceries and put the items away in the cupboards to save the customer from doing so, much to their delight.
Jason commented:
“I just followed my instinct, I explained to the customer that there was no rush and that I could take the time as helping people is just part of my job. I enjoy my job at Asda for different reasons, however, working in customer service has given me the opportunity to make a positive impact on somebody else’s day and there is nothing more rewarding than that. Kindness costs nothing!”
The customer was so pleased with Jason’s assistance that she contacted Asda Portadown, praising Jason as a credit to the company and that her positive experience would encourage her to use Asda’s delivery service again.
Kate Oakes, General Store Manager at Asda Portadown said:
“Jason is a remarkable employee and always goes above and beyond for all customers. His dedication to making every customer feel valued is a testament to his hard work and commitment. We’re privileged to work with him, thank you, Jason!”
The Danish company Eltronic FuelTech is now the first in the industry to offer equipment for supplying fuel from tanks to engines on methanol-powered ships. This can save shipping companies both money as well as energy while enhancing safety.
The naming of Laura Mærsk, A.P. Moller-Maersk’s first container ship that can sail on green methanol, marked the start of more sustainable shipping. In the wake of this, the Danish engineering company Eltronic FuelTech has now launched a new supply system – a so-called Low-flashpoint Fuel Supply system (LFSS) – for this particular vessel.
In doing so, players in the shipping industry can now have an integrated fuel supply system from the fuel tank to the engine comprising a single supply system and fuel valve train which improves safety, cuts costs and saves energy.
“Embracing green methanol as a fuel has been increasing markedly in recent years, and with the new LFSS system, we can make a significant contribution to the green transition of the shipping industry. In the past, several suppliers were required to put together a complete fuel supply system all the way from the fuel tank to the engine, but the fact that we can now supply the entire system brings multiple benefits,” says Louise Andreasen, CEO at Eltronic FuelTech.
There are savings associated with the logistics, as one and the same container can be used for spare parts for the entire system, and fewer repair technicians will be required in connection with maintenance.
“It’s a huge advantage for customers that it’s now available as a combined package so they no longer have to maintain the interfaces between two different systems. At the same time, when we deliver a combined solution, we can guarantee the safety of the entire system,” says Louise Andreasen.
Pump alone can save 40,000 kWh a year
While most other supply systems on the market use two pumps to pump the methanol around, Eltronic FuelTech has managed to create an LFSS with only one pump, thereby saving considerable energy. In addition, it is now possible to adjust the pump depending on the engine load, so that only the right amount of methanol is supplied to the engine, something which has not been possible until now.
“This means that if a ship is sailing slowly, the pump automatically adjusts to the load, so that it only runs at 60% of full power for example. With other systems, unnecessarily large quantities of methanol are pumped around the system, which clearly affects electricity consumption, especially on large ships,” says Louise Andreasen, and continues:
“With the biggest engines on container ships, for example, the pumps usually use more than 100,000 kWh a year pumping the methanol from the fuel tanks to the engine. With our new supply system, we expect to be able to cut consumption by up to 40%.”
In addition to developing systems for a ship’s main engines, Eltronic FuelTech has also developed a compact combined system to supply the ship’s auxiliary engines with fuel from the tanks.

A box truck insurance policy typically includes several types of coverage, such as liability coverage, physical damage coverage, cargo coverage, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
Liability insurance covers damages caused to other people’s property or injuries sustained by other drivers in the event of an accident. Physical damage coverage takes care of repairs or replacements when your box truck is damaged in an accident or stolen. Cargo coverage, on the other hand, protects the goods you’re carrying in your box truck against damage or loss.
Lastly, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is crucial in scenarios where you’re involved in an accident with a driver who is either uninsured or doesn’t have adequate coverage to pay for any damages incurred.
To be eligible, you must meet the minimum insurance requirements set by your state and provide proof of compliance. Obtaining an operator’s license is also essential to legally drive and operate a box truck for commercial purposes. Ensuring all your documentation is current will help avoid penalties and keep your operations running smoothly.
What factors may affect the cost?
Box truck insurance can come at various costs. Several factors can influence those prices. Firstly, the type of truck and the goods it carries can impact the cost of coverage. Insurers consider the vehicle’s size, weight, and cargo items while calculating the premium.
Secondly, driving history also plays a role in securing an affordable insurance policy. Drivers with a clean track record and no previous claims can generally get lower rates. Lastly, insurance providers analyze geographical locations before determining the cost of the policy.
Theft rates, accident frequencies, and crime rates in the area can all impact the premium price. By understanding these contributing factors, individuals can better prepare themselves and make informed decisions when it comes to purchasing box truck insurance.
How to compare quotes from different insurers to find the best deal
With so many insurance companies offering various policies and deals, it can be overwhelming to decide which one to choose. By comparing quotes from different insurers, you can find the best deal that suits your needs. However, it’s important to remember that the cheapest quote may not always be the best option.
When comparing quotes, consider factors such as the coverage offered, deductibles, and customer service reviews. It’s also a good idea to ask for discounts or bundle options that may lower the overall cost. Take the time to carefully review and compare each quote to make an informed decision and find the best deal for your insurance needs.
Keep in mind that prices can vary significantly – so make sure to shop around and compare different policies before making a final decision.
Securing adequate box truck insurance is an important part of running a business, but it can often be an overwhelming task. It’s important to be aware of the different types of coverage available and factors that may contribute to the cost so you can ensure you’re getting the best deal. Comparing rates from multiple insurers is a great way to get the most out of this essential service.
Lastly, remember to avoid any common mistakes when it comes to box truck insurance and take full advantage of any tips and tricks for saving money on your policy.

As a fleet manager, you likely have a range of responsibilities and as a result, it can be challenging to find the right balance every day. You may even feel like there are not enough hours in the day. This means that it might be a good idea to think about how you can save some time during the day and increase employee productivity. This will help you focus on other more important business tasks and reduce stress. Although this might look like a tall order, there are some great solutions that you can implement. Take a look at our suggestions below and consider how you can incorporate them within your organisation.
Choose The Right Vehicles
First of all, vehicle reliability should be your top priority when it comes to saving time in the long run. If you choose vehicles, which don’t meet your operational needs, this can result in a number of problems. There are certain considerations that you will need to make to ensure that everything will go smoothly. For instance, you may need to look into the most affordable vehicle replacement cycles, as well as any maintenance requirements that you will need to adhere to. When looking for the right vehicles, always think about the correct size, style, and carrying capacity that you need.
Get Real-Time Data
Getting real-time data will allow you to make decisions more quickly and address any compliance issues, that might arise. With remote tachograph download from FleetGO, all files from your vehicles will be downloaded automatically, regardless of where your vehicles and drivers are at the moment. There are many benefits of using remote tachograph download, as you will have access to all of your data in one cloud solution. This will lead to huge time-savings and increased productivity. As a result, you will always be on top of your tachograph archive and you will get a clear overview of driver infringements.
Establish A Good Daily Routine
Many fleet managers prefer to dive straight into their tasks the moment they start work. However, it might be beneficial to allocate some time each morning to determine your priorities for the day. For example, you may want to create a to-do list or simply jot down a few things that you want to focus on. This will ensure that you won’t get distracted later on, as you will have a plan for the rest of the day. If possible, you may want to spend some time separating the different issues that you need to deal with into categories.
Focus On Recruitment
Another key area that can be easy to overlook is recruitment, which can play a key role in the success of your fleet. It’s crucial to take your time when it comes to selecting the right drivers by checking their credentials and ensuring they fit all other requirements. Make a list of the skills and qualifications that you expect drivers to have. This will help you make the right decisions when conducting interviews and reading through job applications. It’s also crucial to conduct a detailed background screening and check that candidates have plenty of experience with fleet driving.
Manage Your Finances
Managing your business finances is crucial, if you want to avoid unnecessary stress. You will need to ensure that you can make the best use of the capital available to you. There are various things that you will need to take into account, including financing rates, prices, taxes, and incentives. Also, it doesn’t matter whether you want to rent, lease, or purchase vehicles and equipment, as you will still need to make the same considerations. Moreover, it’s advisable to think about your future business and operational needs.
Monitor Your Progress
Monitoring progress throughout this process is a must so that you can determine whether you have achieved your business goals or not. Make sure you establish a set of objectives, that you can work towards with your team. If you want to save time, consider the tasks that might be preventing you from achieving this goal. Once you implement new solutions and ideas, remember to return to your objectives to see how far you have come. However, you may also encounter various strategies, that might not be the best for your business, so you may need to adjust your strategy.
Ensure Safety
Last but not least, safety is one of the most important things that you will need to think about in your role as a fleet manager. You will need to introduce the right safety measures, which will prevent your company from having to deal with expensive insurance claims. Moreover, ensuring safety will be a great way to cut down on the amount of time you need to spend filling in reports, when an incident occurs. As a result, you will be able to focus on other operational improvements, that you can implement.
Shipping furniture across the country can be a daunting task, especially if you are worried about ensuring the safety of your items during transit. However, whether you are moving to a new home or need to transport a piece of furniture to a friend or relative, there are several steps you can take to ensure that your items arrive safely at their destination.
Here are some tips for safely shipping furniture across the country:
Choose the Right Shipping Company

For those moving several pieces at once, alternative shipping solutions such as Premiershipping Containers AU for added durability and security can be a practical choice. Unlike standard crates, shipping containers provide reinforced structures that prevent shifting and impact-related damage. Choosing the right container size and adding proper padding ensures your furniture arrives safely at its destination.
Label Your Boxes or Crates
Labeling your boxes or crates with your name, address, contact information, and the destination address is essential. This will help to ensure that your items are delivered to the correct location.
Insure Your Items
It would help if you considered purchasing insurance for your furniture to protect yourself in case of any damage or loss during shipping. This will provide you with peace of mind and help to cover any costs associated with repairing or replacing your items.
Use a Professional Moving Company
If you are moving a large amount of furniture or are concerned about your items’ safety during shipping, you may want to consider hiring a professional moving company. These companies are experienced in packing and shipping furniture and can handle the entire process for you, including packing, loading, and transporting your items.
By following these tips, you can ensure the safety of your furniture during shipping and have peace of mind knowing that your items will arrive at their destination in good condition. Whether you are moving to a new home or simply shipping a piece of furniture to a friend or relative, these guidelines will help to ensure that your items are protected during transit.
