Here's how the Mainline Fleet works for our customers and for the environment:
We can safely and successfully deliver orders to our customers - damaged orders, non-deliveries and re-deliveries lead to additional, unnecessary journeys
We deliver direct to our customers. We can cut out the unnecessary miles taking orders to depots before delivery.
It allows for regular back hauling from our supply partners - this makes use of empty transport returning to Mainline, keeps our stock levels high and reduces delivery journeys our suppliers make to us.
We can plan our delivery routes around our orders and customers using our route optimisation software - this also means we can give our customers accurate delivery windows.
We can encourage fuel efficient driving from our delivery team.
We measure MPG to help to assess vehicle health and maintenance - no more poor performing, inefficient vehicles.
We can reduces the packaging required on orders delivered on our transport, also reducing our customers' waste disposal costs.
Delivering on our own fleet provides the opportunity for innovative packaging solutions like our reusable blanket packaging on smaller orders
We can offer a packaging recycling service on machinery we deliver.
We can provide our Glass Recycling Service to our glass customers.
We can offer our Morso Blade Sharpening Service with free collection and delivery to our customers, this reduces additional carrier miles.
With our own fleet, we can provide a greater range of products to our customers - a one-stop-shop for picture framing supplies - glazing products, sheet products, ironmongery, wood and polcore mouldings, samples and cut to size products.
