Reduced Fleet Costs
Maintaining a fleet of delivery vehicles comes with a multitude of expenses, including vehicle acquisition, maintenance, MOTs, fuel, insurance, and driver salaries (including NI and holiday pay). By partnering with a 3PL provider, a courier like Speedy Freight, you can save money by eliminating the costs associated with running and maintaining your own fleet.
Additionally, this will allow you to shift your fleet costs from fixed to variable, allowing your business to pay only for the services you use. This flexibility can lead to immediate cost savings, especially during periods of low demand, as you won't be burdened by the ongoing costs of vehicle ownership and operation. You’ll also save money on yard space, as you won’t need to store your vehicles when they’re not being used.
At Speedy Freight, we’ll provide the right vehicle for the job, providing a tailored quote to your needs based on the vehicle type needed, so you don’t have to run multiple vehicles requiring two drivers, or run vehicles that are only partially loaded.
Eliminating Infrastructure Costs
Operating a fleet also requires dedicated facilities and yards for vehicle storage, maintenance, and management. These infrastructure costs can be substantial and tie up valuable resources that could be better allocated elsewhere.
By outsourcing to a logistics provider, you free your business from the financial burden of maintaining these facilities, as Speedy Freight already possesses the necessary infrastructure and technology for your business delivery, warehousing, and fulfilment needs.
This not only saves money but also streamlines your operations, enabling you to focus on core business functions.
Only Pay One-Way
When it comes to business deliveries, every mile counts—not only in terms of efficient operations but also when it comes to the financial bottom line.
Running in-house fleets means your business is footing the bill for both the outbound and return trips of your drivers and delivery vehicles. This not only accumulates direct expenses but also involves indirect costs such as fuel, maintenance, and driver compensation.
At Speedy Freight, you’ll only ever pay for the loaded outward journey, never for empty miles. This can lead to significant cost savings due to lower driver expenses as you won’t have to pay for the empty journey back, and no overnight accommodation costs for drivers.
Reduced Labour Expenses
Running an in-house fleet necessitates hiring and managing drivers, which can be a complex and costly endeavour.
Outsourcing deliveries allows you to utilise Speedy Freight's pool of skilled drivers, saving you the expenses associated with recruitment, training, and employee benefits. This can lead to better driver efficiency and reduced labour costs for your business.
Access to Expertise and Technology
At Speedy Freight, we specialise in intricate, difficult, and last-minute same day deliveries. No matter what your needs are, we can handle them. We have the expertise and technology to efficiently route deliveries, optimise delivery schedules, and offer a reliable multi-drop delivery service.
By leveraging our expertise, your business can benefit from optimised routes, going direct, that reduce fuel consumption and minimise delivery times. This not only saves money but also enhances customer satisfaction, contributing to long-term growth.
Flexibility and Scalability
Business needs can fluctuate, and maintaining a fixed fleet can be challenging when demand varies. Outsourcing to a logistics provider offers unparalleled scalability.
During peak seasons, Speedy Freight can quickly allocate additional resources to meet increased demand, ensuring timely deliveries without the need for long-term financial commitments. This scalability prevents your business from overextending resources during slower periods and provides a cost-effective solution to accommodate varying workloads.
At Speedy Freight, we can scale up or down to your needs within hours, not weeks. If you need one small van one day, and 500 XLWB vans the next, we’ve got you covered.
Reduced Risk of Loss & Damage
Speedy Freight offers a dedicated service, which means you have the exclusive use of our vehicles, as we’ll never co-load your goods with anyone else’s.
When you book with us, we go direct from A to B—so there’s minimal risk of damage and no risk of loss of goods from misdelivery. Our dedicated service ensures the quickest and securest delivery possible, which is especially crucial in periods of high demand.
Focus on Core Competencies
By outsourcing deliveries, your business can redirect resources and energy towards core competencies, such as product development, marketing, and customer service.
This focus on what you do best can lead to improved competitiveness, innovation, and revenue growth. As a result, your business stands to benefit not only from cost savings but also from enhanced overall performance. Focus on what matters to you and leave your logistics in reliable hands with Speedy Freight.
