Bakery Receives 8 Double Deck Tiger Trailers

Posted on by David Priestman

Eight moving double deck articulated trailers manufactured by Tiger Trailers have joined the fleet of Banbury-based bread-makers Fine Lady Bakeries, with innovation and on-time delivery proving key influencers in their decision to change suppliers.

Fully painted in the baker’s distinctive Straw Yellow livery, Fine Lady Bakeries’ new Tiger trailers feature a three-quarter-length moving deck rated to ten tonnes, operated by the manufacturer’s proven four-ram hydraulic system, offering enhanced robustness, reliability, and an increased load capacity.

Used for the transport of unbranded bread loaded in bread baskets, the trailers will primarily serve Fine Lady’s two bakery sites in Banbury and Manchester, from where their range of loaves, buns and other products are then transported to the supermarket, wholesaler, and other customers.

Adam Robson, Fine Lady Bakeries’ Logistics Manager, comments: “For the ordering of our new trailer fleet additions, we sought to identify a manufacturer that would be able to deliver on time, in full, and meet our specific operational requirements. It was clear from discussions with Tiger Trailers that they would be able to meet our timescales and custom requirements, and we were also encouraged by their complementary services and work in the community. We’re very pleased with our new double-decker trailers from Tiger and look forward to fostering a strong relationship with Darren, Tom, and the team going forwards.”

To reduce the potential for damage, Tiger has incorporated recessed hinges into the rear frame of the new trailers, along with reinforced pillar lowers, and rubber cones fitted to each door and side panel. Inside, load securing is provided by means of specifically designed nets retained by vertical e-tracks. A full-width gate is fitted at the neck area, and the lifting deck is operated either by the bank of control buttons or by a wanderlead. To enhance operator safety, various lights, alarms, and visual warnings have been installed.

Thomas Stott, Technical Sales Manager at Tiger Trailers, says: “It’s been a pleasure to welcome Fine Lady Bakeries on board as a new customer. After our visits to their sites, followed by their visit to Tiger to sign off the 3D model that our design and engineering team produced, it’s fantastic to see this established bakery’s new double deck trailers in the flesh on the road. Huge thanks to Adam and his colleagues – it’s been brilliant to work with them, and we look forward to supporting and continuing to work with the Fine Lady team over the coming months and years.”

Fine Lady Bakeries, part of the Heygate Group, is a long-established manufacturer of bread products which it supplies to leading supermarkets, wholesalers, and to the sandwich industry. Originating in Banbury, Oxfordshire, Fine Lady opened a second purpose-built bakery in Manchester in 2010.

Cheshire-based Tiger Trailers is one of the UK’s top-five manufacturers of articulated trailers and rigid bodywork. Soon celebrating its 10-year anniversary, Tiger builds the complete range for road transport operators, from curtainsiders, fixed and moving double decks and temperature-controlled trailers, to swap-body demountables and specialist vehicles such as flatbeds. Supporting its customers and the wider industry, the company is home to Tiger Finance, Tiger Parts, and Tiger Rentals divisions. Its ESG initiatives include a tree planted for each product sold, solar panels on its factory roof, and EV chargers for staff and visitors. Tiger’s CSR activities span working with The Prince’s Trust, Women in Transport, and Cheshire Community Foundation, while the Tiger Safety Team delivers its ‘STOP, LOOK, BE SEEN’ road safety programme into schools.

AI Revolution in Road Freight Around the Corner

Posted on by David Priestman

The road freight logistics industry is on the brink of a revolution, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, writes Luis Moreira-Matias, senior AI Director of sennder. As the world becomes increasingly digitized, businesses are recognizing the potential of AI in optimizing their operations. In road freight logistics, the AI revolution is imminent, and it is poised to bring significant benefits in terms of resources, cost savings, and societal expectations.

Resources: Embracing Automation in a Digital Era

Digitalization is the norm across various industries, and road freight logistics is no exception. With the rise of cloud computing and the collection of massive amounts of data, businesses have reached a tipping point. Manual processes no longer keep pace with information flow. Automation, facilitated by AI, is the logical next step to leverage the vast amounts of data for enhanced efficiency and decision making.

AI-powered systems analyse and process large volumes of data in real time, providing valuable insights that optimize supply chain operations. Predictive analytics anticipate demand patterns, enabling better inventory management and reducing the risk of stockouts. Machine learning algorithms continuously learn from historical data and adapt to changing circumstances, enabling better route planning and load optimization.

Cost: Driving Efficiency and Competitiveness

In an industry where profit margins can be razor-thin, companies must find ways to maximize efficiency and reduce costs. By harnessing the power of AI, road freight logistics companies optimize operations in several ways. Intelligent routing algorithms identify the most efficient routes, considering factors such as traffic conditions, fuel consumption, and delivery time windows. This reduces fuel costs and minimizes environmental impact by optimizing fleet utilization. Furthermore, AI enables proactive maintenance by analyzing sensor data from vehicles, identifying potential issues before they escalate into costly breakdowns.

The ability of AI to analyse vast amounts of data in real-time enables better pricing strategies and load matching. By considering factors such as cargo type, weight, and destination, AI systems efficiently match available trucks with suitable loads, maximizing capacity utilization, and reducing empty miles. This results in significant cost savings for both carriers and shippers, creating a win-win for the industry.

Social Expectations: Technology’s Growing Role

In today’s increasingly tech-savvy society, there is a growing expectation that technology will play a central role in various aspects of life, including businesses in operation-intensive sectors like road freight logistics. Automation and AI are no longer seen as futuristic concepts but rather as essential tools for driving progress and efficiency.

Businesses in road freight logistics must adapt to meet these changing societal expectations. Carriers and shippers are becoming more demanding, expecting automation and AI-driven solutions to streamline interactions and simplify processes. Automated tracking systems, intelligent chatbots for customer service, and AI-powered predictive analytics are just a few examples of the technological advancements in the industry.

Moreover, the adoption of AI in road freight logistics can have a positive impact on the workforce. By automating repetitive and mundane tasks, AI frees up human resources to focus on more engaging and intellectually challenging roles. This shift can lead to higher job satisfaction, and provide opportunities for upskilling and career advancement within the industry.

Conclusion

The AI revolution in road freight logistics is just around the corner, driven by the convergence of various factors. The digitalization of business operations, the need for cost optimization, and the growing societal expectations for automation and AI all contribute to the inevitability of this transformation. By embracing AI-powered solutions, road freight logistics companies unlock significant benefits, including enhanced resource utilization, cost savings, and alignment with societal expectations. As the industry evolves, those who fail to adapt may find themselves falling behind in the race for efficiency and competitiveness.

TEG Launches ‘Industry-First’ Transport Data Service

Posted on by David Priestman

Transport Exchange Group (TEG), a leading UK online freight exchange platform, is helping its members to operate more dynamically and competitively in a highly volatile marketplace with the launch of what it describes as an ‘industry-first’ load pricing data service. Price Per Mile (PPM) will offer simple, timely and accurate insight into changing road transport rates for the first time, so hauliers, couriers and owner drivers can better shape their pricing strategies in real-time.

“The road transport sector has faced a period of unprecedented instability over the past few years because of multiple economic factors such as Brexit, COVID, driver shortages, and the war in Ukraine,” explains Lyall Cresswell, CEO of Transport Exchange Group. “The resulting impact on small-and mid-sized operators in terms of pricing strategy and capacity planning has been significant, so we have launched PPM to provide our members with the business intelligence needed to compete and grow.”

PPM can be tailored by both postcode and vehicle type to provide a weekly update of average, high and low pricing data into and out of a specified area. The aggregated and anonymised information is calculated using data from millions of transactions. The service was initially launched as a pilot involving owner drivers, but it has now been rolled out to all members of the Haulage Exchange and Courier Exchange, with self-service functionality soon to be introduced to simplify the order and delivery process.

PPM follows the introduction of the TEG Road Transport Price Index in November 2021, which provides a monthly, macro-level summary of pricing and market trends to industry operators and policymakers alike. This valuable and validated insight tracks changes in the marketplace using a unique data set, based on many thousands of different freight buyer and seller combinations that that take place on TEG’s online freight exchange platform.

“We are investing heavily in data science as we continue to enhance the functionality and guidance available on our platform. By constantly innovating we can add value to our members and give them the business and operational tools needed to operate profitably and focus on what they do best,” concludes Cresswell.

 

UK Hauliers Join Forces

Posted on by David Priestman

Specialist Logistics Services Ltd (SLS) is a UK freight forwarder that offer a turnkey service for the movement of out of gauge and abnormal cargo and has been successfully delivering to clients old and new, for many years. It says it prides itself in offering bespoke solutions for the movement of all challenging cargo.

Following a long and successful career in project cargo, its owner and founder Martin Burgess decided to retire from the board with effect from April this year.

Reimer Ltd, which also owns Doherty Heavy Haulage, is now the new owner of SLS and its partner company Martin Burgess Logistics Ltd.

The new Managing Director of SLS, Hasan Huseyin, says: “I’m excited about the new takeover. I have a fantastic and knowledgeable team working alongside me and we all look forward to the bright future ahead.” Huseyin will also remain at the helm of Doherty heavy haulage.

Luton-based Doherty is well established in the field of heavy haulage with an ever-growing fleet of low-loaders, variety of specialist trailers and equipment.  SLS and Doherty have worked together seamlessly for many years and described the takeover and merge of skills as an obvious choice and a smart business move.

This new takeover will enable SLS to directly utilise Doherty’s fleet of vehicles, offering more competitive rates on UK moves. However, both companies are still running independently.

Martin Burgess concludes: “I will always be indebted to my former directors and current colleagues for making the business the success it has become and the sheer hard work and effort has paid off in the end, allowing for the business to have bright future ahead of it under Reimer’s control.”

 

Kinaxia Agrees 5-Year Contract with ArrowXL

Posted on by David Priestman

Kinaxia Logistics has agreed a five-year contract to provide all domestic linehaul and trunking services for two-person home delivery specialist ArrowXL.

ArrowXL, which has its headquarters in Wigan and further sites at Worcester, Airdrie, Carrickfergus and Enfield, delivers more than two million customer orders a year for retailers, ecommerce companies and manufacturers. These include domestic appliances, furniture, sofas, beds and mattresses and garden items.

Kinaxia group company Mark Thompson Transport has been providing a large proportion of ArrowXL’s trailer-based client collections, returns and carousel movements since 2019.

Now the arrangement is being expanded and will see Mark Thompson Transport – which is part of Kinaxia’s primary sector division – assume responsibility for all domestic linehaul and trunking services.

Mark Thompson Transport already has operating centres and dedicated drivers based at ArrowXL’s hubs in Wigan and Worcester, and will open new ones in Enfield and Airdrie, as well as providing all units and trailers required to fulfil the contract.

Following the deal, 14 drivers employed by ArrowXL will transfer to Mark Thompson Transport under TUPE regulations and more drivers will be recruited in line with the expansion resulting from the deal.

Richard Smith, managing director of Kinaxia’s primary sector business, said: “We are excited to be extending our relationship with ArrowXL and welcoming new drivers into the Kinaxia family.

“This five-year contract is the result of a lot of hard work by the ArrowXL and Mark Thompson Transport teams and is a reflection of the service that we have been providing over the last four years.

“We are now able to build on this joint success and further cement our partnership.

“At the same time, the arrangement reinforces our nationwide capabilities in the primary sector and creates growth opportunities across a wide area of the UK as well as enabling us to offer more flexibility to our existing customers.”

Charlie Shiels, CEO of ArrowXL, said: “This decision is a natural extension of our current arrangements. We both work really well together, and this change will help us to create more and better opportunities for our many clients. This could be in improved first mile capability or higher levels of service excellence.

“ArrowXL and Mark Thompson Transport are a good cultural fit and both put customer service at the heart of their operational capabilities.

“We look forward to creating an even more innovative relationship as we get to know even more about each other’s strengths and capabilities.”

Kinaxia is a top 15 UK logistics group employing more than 1,600 staff nationwide with a fleet of over 850 vehicles which transport goods for the retail, leisure, food and drink and manufacturing sectors.

The group, which has its headquarters in Macclesfield, Cheshire, has 2.7 million sq ft of warehouse facilities nationwide, offering contract packing, e-fulfilment, returns management, storage services and a complete distribution service.

Fleet Managers Reveal Priorities

Posted on by David Priestman

UK fleet managers have modernisation clearly in their sights for 2023, against a backdrop of fluctuating fuel prices and driver shortages. That’s according to a survey of 150 fleet managers, commissioned by Samsara, which reveals key priorities include upgrading vehicles (98%), increasing the sustainability of the fleet (82%), and moving to electric or hybrid vehicles (82%).

The research, presented in a new Samsara report — 2023: The Road Ahead — highlights a long list of operational challenges that fleet managers need to overcome, which includes improving road safety, increasing efficiency, and recruiting more drivers.

In response, 94% of fleet managers are investing in new technology in 2023 to boost operational modernisation and improve the driver experience. The majority see clear benefits to introducing connected technologies such as sensors and dashcams, including reduced paperwork (82%), improved supply chain efficiency (75%) and the ability to more easily transition to EVs or hybrid vehicles (68%).

The move will be welcomed by drivers too, with a Samsara-commissioned survey of 1,000 commercial drivers of small and large vans, HGVs, and other vehicles revealing large numbers believe a variety of connected technologies would have a positive impact on their job, including dashcams (78%), GPS routing (77%), and mobile-based workflow tools (68%).

“Fleet managers recognise that technology can play a big role in creating a modern fleet and — critically — so do their drivers,” said Philip van der Wilt, SVP and General Manager EMEA, Samsara. “More importantly, fleet managers understand the importance of data to power their operations to make them safer, more efficient, and more sustainable.”

“Our findings confirm what we have known for some time — that if fleets want to future-proof their operations, they need to modernise and embrace technology. All of the challenges detailed in this report — from high fuel costs and driver shortages to regulatory changes, road safety, and the transition to EVs — can be mitigated by using smart, connected technology. As this report shows, fleet managers are moving to embrace technology to modernise their fleets. Those who don’t will be in danger of getting increasingly left behind and losing competitive advantage,” added van der Wilt.

Tony Draper, head of SHEQ, M Group Services, a long-standing Samsara customer, added: “For too long, commercial fleets have been underserved by the types of technology that have transformed other sectors and industries. Thanks to affordable, connected, smart tech, fleets have the opportunity to make their operations safer, more efficient, and more sustainable.”

Samsara commissioned Vitreous World to carry out online interviews with 150 fleet or logistics managers in the UK with direct responsibility for vehicles, drivers, logistics, supply chain and/or field service operations, from 15 to 24 February 2023. A further survey of 1,000 UK commercial drivers was also carried out between 14-21 February 2023 by Good Broadcast. All research conducted adhered to the UK Market Research Society (MRS) code of conduct (2019).

Gebrüder Weiss Continues to Grow

Posted on by David Priestman

The international transport and logistics company Gebrüder Weiss posted turnover of 3.01 billion euros for fiscal 2022. This translates into a year-on-year gain of 18 percent (2021: 2.54 billion euros), and builds on the positive trend of recent years. “We have succeeded in adhering to and advancing our strategic goals in a challenging environment. We have expanded our position in the core markets of Central and Eastern Europe, the United States and Asia, while moving forward with our focuses on digitalization and climate neutrality by 2030. The rewarding results across our divisions are proof positive that we are a solid organization that is fit for the future,” says Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO at Gebrüder Weiss. The equity ratio also rose and has been restored to its previous level of 60 percent (2021: 57 percent); this increase underlines the company’s resilience and demonstrates that Gebrüder Weiss offers its workforce secure jobs.

The Land Transport division posted 1,479 million euros in sales, a gain of 16 percent (2021: 1,277 million euros). The Home Delivery service performed at last year’s level, delivering some 1.53 million shipments to private households in Austria and Eastern Europe (2021: 1.58 million consignments). As a result, Gebrüder Weiss maintained its market leadership in this segment. Major progress was also reported by Air & Sea, which closed fiscal 2022 with sales at 1,272 million euros, a plus of 24 percent (2021: 1,024 million euros). This surge was driven mainly by the high freight charges of the shipping companies and airlines. DPD Austria, which is partly owned by the Gebrüder Weiss parcel service, was able to sustain its volumes: in 2022 it shipped 66 million parcels (2021: 66.5 million).

International network expanded

Despite economic challenges in 2022 deriving from the war in Ukraine, energy issues and rising inflation, Gebrüder Weiss adhered to its investment strategy. A total of 67 million euros were devoted to consolidating the company’s own network and augmenting its international locations and services. The main focuses were Germany, Hungary, Romania and the United States, along with Turkey and Georgia. The latter two countries are chief links on the Middle Corridor, along which the logistics specialist extended its services to Central Asia and China.

In the key German logistics market, Gebrüder Weiss was able to cement its position in both Air & Sea and Land Transport. In southern Germany, the renaming of the Bavarian freight forwarding company Lode as Gebrüder Weiss Waldkraiburg was concluded. The continued expansion of the land transport network is planned for the south of Germany, with the takeover of the Rentschler shipping company (Baden-Württemberg) in early 2023 marking a first step. Having an enlarged network naturally prompted growth in the workforce: employee numbers rose by six percent to some 8,400 (2021: 7,900)

Continued focus on digitalization and sustainability

The year 2022 also saw the company sustaining its digitalization strategy “Best of Both Worlds,” which Gebrüder Weiss views as a winning combination of operational and digital competence. This included the next stage in the rollout of the digital service portal myGW, which delivers real-time information as to the exact whereabouts of customers’ goods – thus ensuring optimum transparency along the entire supply chain. “Our goal is to give our customers the best solutions for their supply chains, while confining our environmental impact to a minimum. Toward that end, we are constantly investing in our logistics terminals and digital tools, while simultaneously training our staff and identifying environmentally friendly transport options,” Wolfram Senger-Weiss explains.

To underscore the company’s commitment to sustainable goals and its pledge to contribute to climate protection globally, Gebrüder Weiss published a Sustainability Report in 2022. In line with its targets, the logistics specialist intends to achieve carbon neutrality at all of its terminals by 2030. One key element in this transition is an increase in power from regenerative sources; last year Gebrüder Weiss installed four new photovoltaic systems at sites in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. All told, 22 such systems are now already in operation, reducing CO2 emissions by 1,110 metric tons annually. In 2023, the rollout will continue in these countries and in Eastern Europe.

Nor has time stood still when it comes to alternative drive options. After successful long-distance trials with the company’s own hydrogen-powered trucks, Gebrüder Weiss is planning further investments in this technology. In 2023, five new H2 powered trucks are due to hit the roads in Germany. Moving forward, the number of electrically powered vans used in urban goods deliveries is due to further increase in Austria and Eastern Europe.

For 2023, Gebrüder Weiss is anticipating a renormalization of the logistics industry. Shipment numbers are currently declining somewhat, and the cost of transport by air and sea has dropped to 2019 levels. As a result, lower sales are expected. Global geopolitical factors may bring additional challenges. Wolfram Senger-Weiss: “The pandemic has proven that the logistics industry can perform under pressure and react swiftly to changing conditions. In the past year, Gebrüder Weiss has been able to further solidify its financial base and drive innovations – while remaining close to our customers and answering their needs with relevant digital services. In light of the current economic forecast, the high inflation rate and the war in Ukraine, we are – needless to say – circumspect and concerned. However, ultimately we remain a strong organization and that gives us confidence.”

New Direct Load Location in Austria

Posted on by David Priestman

Hellmann Worldwide Logistics opened its first Austrian Direct Load branch in Kufstein this February. The globally active logistics service provider has already had a successful presence in the Austrian market for 15 years with five branches and a focus on air and sea freight products. In the future, full and partial truckloads will also be dispatched from Kufstein throughout Europe and Austria. Kufstein will thus become part of the existing Direct Load network, which is already represented in eight European countries with more than 40 locations.

As part of its global growth strategy, Hellmann has invested heavily in its Direct Load network in recent years – for example in France, the Netherlands, the Benelux countries, the Czech Republic and Poland. Due to Austria’s central location, the expansion of the network in the Alpine country is of strategic importance. With the opening of the branch in Kufstein, which is a hub for overland transports in Austria due to its favorable geographical location, the logistics provider is opening another notable market in the heart of Europe. At the same time, Hellmann is creating an additional gateway to Southeastern Europe and Italy, which will also significantly strengthen the existing connections to and from Eastern Europe.

“The branch in Kufstein is of strategic importance to us in two respects: on the one hand, by opening up this inner-European hub, we are strengthening our road network and our connections between northern and southern Europe in particular. At the same time, by expanding our product portfolio to include direct load services, we are also further strengthening Hellmann’s competitive position in Austria – a market in which we intend to continue growing sustainably in the future,” says Jens Wollesen, Chief Operating Officer, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.

Since its foundation over 150 years ago, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has developed into one of the largest international logistics providers in the world. With more than 12,300 employees, the company is active in 60 countries and generated sales of around EUR 4 billion in 2021.The range of services includes classic forwarding services by truck, rail, air and sea freight, as well as a comprehensive range of CEP services, contract logistics, industry and IT solutions.
