Frequently Asked Questions

What types of vehicles do you have?

We have a diverse fleet specifically designed for automotive deliveries, including 1-tonne and 2-tonne vans (with refrigerated options for temperature-sensitive items like specialist fluids or batteries), box trucks (4-14 tonnes, including TautLiners, Pantechs, and Tailgate Lift Trucks), cars & hatchbacks for urgent smaller deliveries, and large capacity trucks (up to 14-pallet capacity). This range allows us to tailor the vehicle to your specific load, whether it’s small components, bulky engines, bulk orders, or other specialised automotive equipment, ensuring safe and efficient transport.

How do you ensure on-time delivery?

On-time delivery is our top priority, especially given the time-sensitive nature of the automotive industry. We achieve this through several key strategies:

  • Dedicated Driver Teams: We assign dedicated drivers to your account. These drivers become familiar with your specific routes, delivery protocols, and the unique needs of your customers (whether they are workshops, dealerships, or other businesses). This consistency improves efficiency and reduces the risk of errors.
  • Route Optimisation: While our drivers develop route familiarity, we also utilise route optimisation technology to plan the most efficient delivery routes, taking into account traffic conditions, delivery windows, and other factors.
  • Proactive Communication: We maintain open communication with you and your team, providing real-time updates on delivery status and proactively addressing any potential delays.
  • Reserve Fleet: Our reserve fleet is crucial. It guarantees uninterrupted service even in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as a driver absence due to illness or a vehicle requiring unexpected maintenance. This eliminates downtime and keeps your deliveries moving. This forms the cornerstone of our zero downtime guarantee.

  • Service Level Agreements (SLAs): We offer customisable SLAs tailored to your specific requirements. These SLAs outline key performance indicators (KPIs) and guarantee service levels related to delivery timeframes, accuracy (correct parts delivered), and other critical metrics. This provides you with clear expectations and accountability.
