A Mission for Sustainable Logistics
The TBK Group has engaged in a collaborative effort with shippers, logistics providers, and partners to tackle various facets of logistics improvement.

These initiatives aim to increase transport efficiency while simultaneously enhancing the working environment for truck drivers.
Reevaluating Transportation Processes

This initiative is designed to ensure stability for logistics providers while lightening the load for truck drivers.
