Why a dedicated van to Marseille 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 France delivery.
From a mainland-UK collection point to Marseille we ship via eurotunnel / dover-calais ferry, with legal driver rest scheduled under EU tachograph rules. Typical door-to-door around 4 days. No hub, no reload, no shared trailer — the same driver you meet at pickup delivers in Marseille.
