Cargo type
FMCG Transport & Distribution Freight
FMCG freight runs on delivery bookings. Retail distribution centres operate strict slot systems, and a vehicle that misses its window can lose most of a day. Transport planning for FMCG is therefore built backwards from the delivery booking rather than forwards from collection.
What we need to quote
- Pallet count and whether stackable
- Delivery booking reference and slot time
- Chilled, frozen or ambient
- Collection site and loading time
- Volume per week or month for lane pricing
Practical considerations
- Missed DC slots can mean rebooking for another day.
- Chilled lines need reefer capacity and temperature discipline.
- Recurring retail volume is usually best priced as a contracted lane.
