What if you cannot cover a shift?

The backup plan applies and your coordinator is told straight away.

Notice terms are in the agreement.

Is It Risky to Rely on One Transport Vendor?

Is it risky to rely on one transport vendor?

Short answer

Only without a backup plan; write one into the contract.

It is risky only if the vendor has no real backup. Reduce the risk by asking for a backup plan per location (ours: a backup car typically reaches a plant shift within about an hour), writing it into the contract with an SLA and notice terms, and reviewing performance monthly.
