Why a dedicated van to Antwerp beats a pallet network
Where pallet networks add depot days and paperwork risk, one van and one driver stay on the same job from UK collection to Belgium delivery.
From a mainland-UK collection point to Antwerp we ship via ferry from dover to calais, then drive, with legal driver rest scheduled under EU tachograph rules. Typical door-to-door around 2 days. No hub, no reload, no shared trailer — the same driver you meet at pickup delivers in Antwerp.
