Freightbook Training offers a set of online training courses specifically for the heavy transport sector, aimed at helping freight forwarders and project logistics professionals understand the higher-margin but higher-risk business scenarios involved in heavy cargo transport. The course covers topics such as terminology, dimensions, forces, heavy transport, lifting, jacking, skidding, loading, and stability. It is clearly not a generic logistics beginner course, but rather a niche professional program focused on engineering logistics and project cargo.
The course is divided into 7 modules, with a total of 71 focused lessons of around 10 minutes each, plus 5 dedicated videos on stability. It emphasizes the stability principles shared across transport vehicles, cranes, and barges. The learning format is online, asynchronous self-study: learners receive a personal login and can start, pause, and replay lessons at any time, with no deadline and continued access retained. This is practical for professionals who need to revisit a specific module during real projects.
The instructor, Marco J. van Daal, has more than 20 years of industry experience. He is the author of the heavy transport textbook The Art of Heavy Transport and has been involved in European associations related to abnormal road transport and mobile cranes. After completing the course, learners receive an e-Certificate by email, which can be used to show clients or authorities proof of training. However, the text does not state whether it is certified by a government body, association, or third party. The price is £500 per user for the full program. Group discounts are available and require contacting the relevant staff; payment methods are not disclosed.
The strengths are its highly vertical positioning, detailed course structure, flexible learning pace, and credibility supported by adoption from companies such as DHL, Kuehne+Nagel, DB Schenker, and DSV Panalpina. The short-lesson format also makes it suitable for learning during work breaks. The limitations are that the website does not specify the teaching language, subtitles, assessment mechanism, platform interaction features, after-sales support, or the authority level of the certificate. For learners without a foundation in heavy transport, the technical terminology and engineering scenarios may present a certain barrier.
It is better suited to independent freight forwarders, project cargo companies, heavy transport teams, and engineering logistics sales and operations staff who want to improve their understanding of heavy transport solutions and communicate more effectively with clients. The text does not provide information on access from China, so network availability, cross-border payments, and invoice handling would need to be verified in practice. If access or payment is restricted, alternatives could include freight forwarding association training, in-house engineering logistics training, or first building a foundation with general supply chain courses before looking for specialized heavy transport resources.
