Common questions
If you’re unsure, send the documents and we’ll guide you.
Which ports use GVMS?
Many UK roll-on/roll-off locations use GVMS. If you tell us the route (e.g., Dover, Eurotunnel, Harwich), we’ll confirm requirements.
Can you send status updates to the driver and office?
Yes — we agree who receives updates (driver / ops / finance) so the right people get the right information.
What are the most common causes of GVMS delays?
Missing references, incorrect vehicle details, and timing issues. We reduce these by confirming inputs before GMR creation.
