What we run and where we run it from.

The fleet
Kit that turns up.
Every vehicle carries straps, corner protection and a tail lift where the round needs one. Trailers are curtain-sided with load-through roofs so a crane can work over the top on a construction site.
Depots
Four sites inside the Severn corridor.
Trunks run between them every night, so a pallet collected in Devon at 15:00 is on the Midlands exchange before midnight.
