He says the vanline system is based on the scheme which has been successfully operating in the USA for many years. The majority of removers in Europe carry goods in one direction only and come back empty," he says. "In this system we will all put our traf fic into a central pool, for handling and transport by removals specialists. In this way the companies hope they can satisfy the consumer demand for quality while avoiding empty running and long-distance work with their own vehicles."
Initially, Omni Vanline will lease in trucks from its member companies, says Oman, but ultimately it will buy its own or lease centrally. As well as coordinating international traffic, Omni will give its members a removals groupage system.
Until a managing director is recruited Omni Van Lines will be based at Omni International's base. Oman says its eventual headquarters are likely to be on the Continent.
