1 Customer
Tracking shipments is a lot easier with SMS-Fast Track. Now I can use my ______________
1
to find out where my shipment is. I just have to __________________
2
my air waybill number
on my mobile and wait a few seconds. Then I get a reply with the details of my consignment’s
current status. It’s such a great idea!
2 Truck driver
All our trucks are equipped with a __________________
3
truck support system now. For me
that’s a great help as I can always use maps that show me exactly where I am and where I have
to go. Obviously, it’s also useful for the company. They can __________________
4
my vehicle
at any time, see the route I’m taking and where I make stops. And what’s very handy for me
– the system also comes with a __________________
5
camera so I can take photos if there’s a
problem while I’m on the road.
3 Manager at a trailer storage yard
I work at a trailer yard where trailers filled with packaged goods are kept until they go out to
the customers. The site is very large and we have four different areas for trailer storage. Until
the new __________________

tag system was introduced, it could easily take a couple of
hours to find the trailer we wanted. Now it’s a matter of minutes to locate the vehicle we’re
looking for. All we have to do now is put the __________________
7
on a trailer and use a
mobile __________________
8
to identify it. It really saves us a lot of time.
