What To Consider When Choosing a Manufacturing Courier Service
Manufacturing is an incredibly diverse industry. To stay ahead, you need a diverse and flexible courier. That’s where Speedy Freight come in.

At Speedy Freight, we know that manufacturing means something different to every person. No matter your industry, keeping the production line flowing smoothly is essential to ensuring the continued success of the business.  

Even a delay of a few minutes can cause havoc down the line, with missed targets, delays in transportation and create a broken link in the supply chain. In any means of manufacturing, last-minute emergencies will inevitably happen, whether it’s a lack of ingredients, broken equipment or a missing part, problems pop up wherever production happens. It’s the preparation and response which determines the scale of these problems.  

A key way to help to protect your business against ramifications is to choose a trusted same day manufacturing courier, so that you can be sure that someone is always on-hand to get you back up and running again in no time.  

 

Experienced 

 

When choosing a manufacturing courier to support your organisation, it is essential that you select a courier with experience in delivering a premium manufacturing courier service. 

At Speedy Freight, our professional and highly experienced teams have a wealth of knowledge around industrial markets, with over 17 years’ experience in handling and delivering goods. 

Just-in-Time supply chains play a significant role within modern manufacturing. Just-in-Time supply chains make sure that products are only produced when required, which eliminates the production of superfluous goods.  

Although this means that supply deliveries may be more frequent, it also means that the cargo will be smaller. Cutting inventory and storage costs, Just-in-Time manufacturing may suit you and your business needs. Speedy Freight are dedicated and experienced in all supply chains, so you can place your confidence in our courier services. 

 

Reliable 

 

In all industries, but particularly manufacturing, it is essential that a courier is reliable and trusted to deliver the goods you need, when you need them.  

A delay in your assembly line could have a disastrous knock-on effect impacting suppliers, retailers, and customers, as well as your own profit. Speedy Freight are committed to providing each of their clients with efficient and punctual deliveries, requiring route planning and preparation in order to offer the most efficient service.  

Businesses who partner with Speedy Freight can be confident that their freight will arrive on time and in perfect condition. Our five-star reviews speak of the service consistently provided by Speedy Freight as a dedicated same day manufacturing courier. 

 

Dedicated 

 

A dedicated manufacturing courier service is just as it sounds. At Speedy Freight, we are dedicated to our customers, providing an exclusive service for each of our clients. 

As a dedicated same day courier, we will only load one client’s goods at a time, so each journey is purpose-planned for maximum efficiency when meeting your needs.  

That means we will never not co-load – a common occurrence in courier services, where vehicles are loaded with goods from multiple clients. The risk in this method is delays in delivery or damage to your goods. With Speedy Freight’s dedicated courier services, we’ll never risk your goods or your time.  

 

Flexible 

 

Our diverse range of vehicles means Speedy Freight can be as flexible as you need, accommodating any and all types of cargo that you need transporting to assist your manufacturing business.  

For instance, if you require the transportation of a large or even abnormal load, Speedy Freight’s access to a fleet of over 4,000 vehicles means that we’re guaranteed to find a vehicle to suit a bigger cargo.  

Our artic truck is capable of handling loads up to 24,000kg and 2.7 metres high, whilst our 18-tonne truck can handle up to 9,000kg: perfect for those larger loads. Flatbed services can assist in abnormal, bulky or difficult loads. 

If your item isn’t quite as hefty, we’re still able to assist: our luton vans and small vans are ideal for a smaller transport need. Whatever size you choose, we’ll still aim to be there within an hour of you making the booking.
