• North Yorkshire-based Malton Fertilisers is establishing a separate transport operation, called Mahon Freight, to undertake third-party contract haulage work.
Company distribution manager Martin Smith says 80% of its transport operation is for third parties, so it makes sense to form a new company.
All 15 of MaIton Fertilisers' existing fleet will be transfer
red to the new company, together with two new vehicles, Seddon Atkinson Stratos, each powered by 298kW Cummins engines.
The new vehicles will operate at 38 tonnes, primarily on bulk grain haulage between Chester in the West and Humberside and Teesside in the East, with each covering more than 125,000kW (77,000 miles) annually.
