Trailers for capacity
December 1st 2010

Meachers Global Logistics has announced the purchase of 20 new trailers at a price tag of almost Ł500K.

The investment will provide the company with capacity to move 250,000 tonnes of freight per year by road. It now operates a modern substantial fleet of over 70 vehicles.

The purchase follows the company's recent announcement of two high profile contracts. It entered into an agreement with Red Funnel Distribution, to support the company with its UK collections.

The company also recently announced signing a trunking deal with international business-tobusiness express delivery provider TNT to trunk freight overnight from TNT's regional facility in Southampton to its national sorting hub based in the Midlands.

Contact the company for details.
