Hi

As the post says, where would be a good place to start looking for chilled/frozen goods to deliver from UK into europe (van sized). Looks like we may have goods back with our regular customer from France, Italy etc.

Any help would be appreciated, also an idea of the going rate for this type of work as we will be new to EU work, approx or ideal obviously.

Cheers Fellas

have you tried the direct approach to those forms/companys that have their own cold stores,
what about airfreight companys, they have small loads as well that have to be moved,

Small organic companys , specialist food companys, sea food,with special needs for smaller loads is the way to go

Thanks for the replies, if anyone has any specific companies they could point me in the direction of that would be great also, we are not looking for the full artic loads just a pallet or two maximum!!

Going to google some cold stores etc as suggested, thanks again and if anyone has anything to add please feel free to answer or PM me!

Thanks :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

You might like to consider hazardous cargo for your outbound,as you have a box vehicle.Many freight forwarders find this a pain,as do some of the larger groupage operators.You’ll need to gear up on ADR first.
