Driver would not honk at me, and shook his finger at me. After this rude encounter he gave me dirty looks just like his truck. Plz honk at children that give you the sign. Thanks

Having moved on site with handtrans a few months ago we have pushed handtrans more and more month after month. Handtrans are now a key supplier of Freightport on a daily basis from the pallet network to warehousing to part and full load collections, there are no weak links in their chain.
