LIFE IN A NETWORK

Hauliers who operate independently can mobilise LGVs as they please. But pallet networks would grind to a halt if members fielded trucks on a whim. Every vehicle is part of the jigsaw, and operators must run their trucks impeccably to fulfil their duties, Networks rely on the constant flow of incoming, and outgoing. traffic. If our truck has only one pallet, we still have to send it," says Circuit.
BFS picks pallets up from Milton Keynes, Bedford and small towns and villages in the MK area, The collective power of the networks means individual consignments can quickly travel hundreds of miles. "Any load in the MK area can be in Glasgow by nine the next morning," asserts Circuit.
Being part of a network can have spin-off benefits. Circuit says that fellow members sometimes help each other out, passing on general haulage work.
