    Why a dedicated van to La Louvière 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 La Louvière we ship via ferry from dover to calais, then drive, with legal driver rest scheduled under EU tachograph rules. Typical door-to-door around 3 days. No hub, no reload, no shared trailer — the same driver you meet at pickup delivers in La Louvière.
