WE ATTHE FREIGHT Best Practice programme team were very pleased to see your interview last week with Lyall Cresswell (CM 31 August 2006), and commend the opportunities that online freight exchanges can offer to help freight operators make the most of each others' capacity.
As readers may know, we are long-time supporters of the practice of backloading, and indeed we have published a guide Make Backloading Work for You — which is aimed at helping operators integrate and increase backloading within their business in order to improve profitability and operational efficiency. and reduce empty or light running.
If readers are interested in the exchange of free advice on saving money in operations they should log onto our own website at www.freightbest practice.org.uk to download any of our guides, which cover a range of ways to make savings and improve operational efficiency.
The programme is a two-way process our guides are produced in partnership with industry to ensure they are informed and accurate.
