Groupage Transport
Modern distribution trends have led to a huge increase in part load and small consignment traffic. Our groupage operations provide a range of services to meet our customer needs.
For non urgent traffic, we can consolidate small consignments and provide a nationwide delivery service at a very competitive price. Service level is maintained whilst the cost to the customer is minimised.
We also have regular weekly runs to destinations throughout the North-West, North-East and Midlands. For example, every Monday we have a dedicated vehicle delivering into the East Midlands (Derby, Nottingham and Leicester areas).
Customers arrange their deliveries to take advantage of the rates we are able to achieve through planning efficiencies. Where a customer has a regular delivery which does not match our pattern, we will try to build up a run to create an extra service.
For more urgent traffic our distribution solution is to use the Palletways network for next day and 3 day deliveries. This involves the consolidation of small consignments, collected during the day, into full artic loads which are delivered to a central hub, during the night.
