RFT Express Trunk

RFT have drivers experienced in trunk runs, disciplined to pick up at designated times and deliver to a central hub, before collecting return loads back to your company. These runs are usually carried out during the night.

• Trunk runs are the same regular runs carried out on a daily basis.
• Some trunks are short runs transporting finished work from the manufacturers to distribution depots or other manufacturers.
• Other trunks are long distance, for instance collecting parcels from several depots and taking them to a central hub. And usually waiting for return deliveries to be transported to the various depots. These are usually carried out during the evening/early morning. Other examples are printed materials going to finishers, news going from the presses to distribution depots to mention a few etc.
• Trunk runs are usually run to a very tight schedule, in order to keep production going, or enable deliveries to be made on time, often a trunk will connect to specific flights or specific sailings, so timing is always important.
• RFT use 3.5 g.v.w. vans for these runs, making them more economical than larger vehicles.

• Trunk runs differ from contract runs in that they collect and deliver to the same places every time.
