Recent changes to tachograph regulations for international van transport are a timely reminder that the right transport solution is not always the fastest-looking one.
Dedicated vans and express solutions still have an important role to play when speed, urgency or shipment requirements call for it. But for many general cargo and pallet shipments in Europe, customers may benefit from a more planned, predictable and cost-effective alternative.
One relevant option is LEMAN Next Day.
Built on a strong European network
LEMAN Next Day is our day-to-day service for general cargo and pallet shipments across large parts of Europe.
The solution has been part of our road freight setup for more than 15 years and is built on a strong European network with daily departures, more than 80 network partners and several European gateways. This gives customers a reliable setup when they need fast and well-planned delivery, without necessarily choosing a dedicated vehicle.
With fixed daily departures, day-to-day delivery in large parts of Europe, high delivery reliability, full Track & Trace and personal follow-up until delivery, LEMAN Next Day can be a strong part of the transport mix when time matters.
Finding the right balance
For shipments where price is also an important factor, LEMAN Economy offers another flexible alternative with fixed daily departures, full Track & Trace and personal follow-up.
The point is not that one solution replaces another. The point is to choose the right solution for the specific shipment.
Sometimes that will still be a dedicated vehicle. In other cases, LEMAN Next Day or LEMAN Economy may offer a better balance between speed, cost, planning and reliability.
If you move general cargo or pallet shipments in Europe, now may be a good time to review your full transport setup and consider whether LEMAN Next Day could be relevant for your business.
