Haulage Work

The obstacles in haulage work are varied and often larger than those faced by the courier industry: You are limited, not by distance, but more by the amount of haulage work you can accept. This is determined by the number of haulage drivers you have, their legal driving hours and the number of HGVs you have. Ensuring all the customers receive their freight on time when your fleet is at full capacity is difficult. Hauliers are equally at risk of driver illness and vehicle breakdown.

Finding skilled drivers that have their heavy goods vehicle driving licences and CPC qualifications can be a challenge. Tachograph laws means HGV / LGV drivers have restricted driving hours. If you are operating lorries over 3.5 tonnes your HGVs will be off the road at regular intervals for their compulsory maintenance checks to comply with the Operator’s licence, therefore reducing your haulage work availability. Eefficiency is key.

Advertise your empty backloads, get them matched and delivered

Ensuring all your HGVs are at full capacity all of the time can be one of the greatest challenges for haulage work. Empty loads reduce profit for freight companies. It is difficult to minimise dead mileage and maximise revenue. Hauliers don’t tend to have multiple drops in between delivery and collection point so filling the backload is even more important to reduce costs. Our smart load matching solution, on our Courier Market transport exchange app, is based on live locations so you can advertise your empty run journeys and they will be matched to other haulage companies looking for a collection and delivery where you are and where you’re going.
