dozy:
According to my mate he took 7 palls from Leicester to Exeter the other day , said it’s far from a one off , maybe the rha could look into utilising fleets better before they bring in thousands more drivers
I’m sure years ago a few firms wouldn’t send a load if it wasn’t 26 pallets minimum
Not such a bad hit but there’s already sites that can help like return loads etc.
It’s been mentioned before but RDC turnaround times have been one thing that has eaten time of most of us at some point. Look at that maybe?
Then there’s also the fact that there may be a shortness of drivers but there’s also a shortage of decent office staff to utilise things properly. For instance we are now part of a group. I took a full load to near Bath/Bristol today. We’ve got another firm in Bristol so the sensible thing would be to arrange something going north from there, no? Obviously no because it made more sense to send an artic empty from Bath/Bristol to Wolverhampton to collect… six pallets…
