• A new overnight thinking service between Scotland and Kent via London and Newcastle is being launched by CRS Transport of Blantyre in Scotland.
The service will run from CRS's depot in Blantyre to its two Kent depots in Larkfield and Aylesford. CRS plans to transport goods for the construction industry on the southbound journey, and bulk paper on the way north.
Already more than £500,000 has been invested in a fleet of 11 new Iveco Ford 220.30 6x2 tractive units for the trunking operation, with 10 trailers fitted with air suspension. CRS also plans to take on 12 new staff, six based in Kent, and six at Blantyre.
The company's present fleet consists of 63 vehicles, but this is the first time CRS has bought trucks from Iveco Ford.
