What is a Pallet Network?

A pallet network is a group of professional hauliers working together as members to provide a cost-effective, nationwide next day delivery service.

Overview

Group of member hauliers work together
Collect & deliver palletised freight in their own zone
Trunk to a central transhipment hub
Next day deliveries

Detailed Description

Network members (independent transport companies) collect pallets of freight from their customers, consolidate it at their own depots and trunk it to the network hub.
In the hub, freight is then unloaded and placed in marshalling areas according to delivery postcode area, along with freight from other members being delivered to the same postcode area.
The pallets are loaded onto the member vehicle for each specific postcode area and trunked back to the members' depots.
Freight is then unloaded from the trunk vehicle and placed onto the delivery vehicles to enable pallets to be delivered to customers.
