To be fair to them, better to do this than block motorways.Anyone that has done Amazon work will know what a wasteful set up it all is. Running half way across the country with empty trailers to then sit around for 3 hours and bring back 6 pallets. In my experience they have hauliers pulling more fresh air than stock. If the public knew what went on the tabloids would be up in arms. My lot did a regular run for them for ages hauling about 3 euro pallets of gear 150 miles on an artic daily. Also had numerous trucks everyday running into one of their hubs with about 2/3 pallets each on the back. Then there are the wasted journeys because of cancellations & complete lack of communication between their main tower and the sites.
Only seems to be so wasteful in the uk when I was doing it last summer I was trunking to Barcelona always full and German loads were full as were the Dutch loads
Had a few cancellations from Coventry out though
