what is it with this

ive been noticing lately that a lot of haulage companies are putting really stupid slogans on their fleets,its probably been going on for a while but why did it start and where did the idea come from… :question: below are some examples and if any driver on here works for these companies im not having a dig at you… :sunglasses:

“delivering sustainable distribution”…what does that even mean…:question: (ESL)

“intelligent logistics”…so not stupid logistics then… :smiley: …(DASCHER)

“real distribution solutions”…what as opposed to fake ones… :unamused: …(DOWNTON)

I probably counted more than a dozen like this in just one day why cant firms just be simple ie. xxxxxx haulage…we haul stuff… :grimacing: the simple premise of haulage hasn’t changed(you get loaded you deliver simples)why do companies feel the need to put really stupid slogans on their fleets which most of the time make no sense at all… :question:now its time to take cover and await any incoming flack… :laughing: :laughing:

I find the wagons with ‘■■■■’ written on them quite funny, don’t know if they are ‘Crap’ to work for or just ‘Crap’ at doing deliveries !

Always wondered about that one myself.

How can a business that relies on burning vast quantities of fossil fuels every day possibly describe itself as “sustainable”?

Perhaps our resident Stobart spokesmoron Dozy would care to explain?

Bedfords = “Specialist Logistics” - WTF? :unamused: Delivering mags and newspapers is a specialist job then? :unamused:

Express Haulage…Have they pulled the fuse? :open_mouth:

I quite like the andy freight one
About the only thing we domt deliver and a picture of a baby on the back doors.

SKAT Don’t forget ‘always on time’ underneath.

Intranet logistics.

The engines on these trucks are powered by burning Willow. Willow is a sustainable crop, using the same amount of carbon when it grows - as it creates when it burns. The end result is zero rated carbon - therefore it can be called sustainable. Obvious FFS!

Precisely, the driver will have to be able to spell a whole sentence and know how to use punctuation. So that rules you lot out.

1 out of 3, giving you a below average score, thus indicating you will not be working for DASCHER’S - intelligent logistics. :open_mouth: :wink:

“Delivering Solutions”

OMG ! Willow, That wouldn’t be Ricky Gervais’s ‘Little Mate’ would it ?
Condolences to his ‘Little Family’
& there was me thinking Little Dwarfs don’t have many uses except Hanging Around in Gangs of 7, singing ‘Hi Ho Hi Ho it’s off to work I go’ & painting them selfs Blue & answering to a Jewish Rabbi called Papa.

So good on you ‘Little Dwarfs’ Delivering Sustainable Transport Solutions ! (I salute you !)

  1. Culina
  2. TNT
  3. On Time Logistics

Sorry didn’t read it properly. There is a ■■■ tanker round our way that says ‘caution delivering political promises’

“Leading Supplier”

OK, who’s the trailing one then?

“Second to None”

That sounds like ‘coming second in a beauty contest where my arse won first prize’ already…

“Prestige Location”

They overpaid for their premises?

“Premium Kit”

They overpaid for their gear as well…

“Premium Staff”
Funny enough, never seen that one! :smiley: :laughing:
It implies they get paid premium wages - tooooo risky! :open_mouth:
