# What is employee transport outsourcing?

**Short answer:** A vendor runs the vehicles and drivers; the company keeps the policy and the review.

Employee transport outsourcing means a company hands the vehicles, drivers, permits and papers, backup vehicles and daily dispatch for staff travel to a **transport vendor** under a written agreement. The company keeps the transport policy, the roster, the budget and the review of the service. Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels runs this for companies across Gujarat, 24/7.
