Double-deckers reduce road miles
Buffaload Logistics, has further expanded its temperature controlled double-deck trailer fleet to provide continued support for The Co-operative’s Primary Distribution network. The additional high cube trailers will, says the business, maintain low traffic movement through reduced handling and fewer road miles.
With 44 pallet capacity, the double-deckers provide up to 66% more volume than conventional temperature controlled trailers and as such, enable The Co-operative to cut handling times, reduce road miles and achieve optimum efficiency throughout the fleet.
John Sabey, responsible for The Co-operative’s third party primary contracts, says: “The trailers bring flexibility to our fresh, inbound network and they work closely with our internal planning team to ensure best fleet utilisation and ‘vehicle fill’ are achieved.”
