The problem
The manufacturer’s previous carriers kept arriving with a vehicle that could not take the whole load. A rigid truck turned up for a day’s orders that included 6-metre lengths or a heavy oversize pallet, and whatever did not fit stayed on the floor until the next day.
That left orders sitting in a warehouse that needed the space to stage the next day’s production, and customers on the coast waiting an extra day for part of their order.
What we do
Checked before the pickup
Before the pickup, the office at Yandina checks what is going: how many pallets, what lengths, what weights. In many cases a rigid body truck is not the right vehicle, so the booking is matched to one that is.
The vehicle that fits
Our fleet covers 12- and 14-pallet rigid curtainsiders with tailgates, prime movers with single trailers and B-double trailers, pantech trucks and vans, which means the manufacturer’s load is never split for want of space.
Collected and delivered
The vehicle collects from Heathwood on the daily Brisbane run, the freight comes north to Yandina overnight, and it is delivered across the Sunshine Coast, Gympie and Moreton Bay the next business day by our own drivers, with tailgate delivery where the receiver has no forklift and a GPS-stamped signature as proof of delivery.
The result
- Every day’s orders collected in one pickup, at the required collection time.
- Warehouse floor cleared for the next day’s staging.
- One carrier for standard pallets, long lengths and oversize items alike.
In the customer’s words
“It’s refreshing that we now know all of our orders will be collected in one go, ensuring we have all the space we need to continue staging orders for the next day. This has been the best result given our space constraints.”
Who this suits
Brisbane manufacturers and distributors whose loads vary from day to day and include lengths, heavy items or oversize pallets that a standard truck will not take, with customers on the Sunshine Coast, in Gympie or in Moreton Bay.
