Degsy Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 In order to cut your costs return loads is the way to go. There will be agents somewhere near to you and also it might be worth contacting agents in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.P. Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Thank You, that is a good idea. Could you - or anyone else, recommend a good company? I have already realized the prices vary a lot! The purpose of this topic was to try finding a good connection/person from "these circles". I rather would deal with real persons than faceless big companies. Last time I did such a move I drove together with the owner of the truck, changing driver every 3 hours. That was a longer trip, but a lot of fun. This time I rather don't drive as I want the stuff arrives safely Edited July 20, 2010 by C.P.

Degsy Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I am no longer in the haulage business and things have changed a lot which is why I suggested contacting agents, owner drivers as well as large companies use their facilities. Sorry I can't help any more but I will try to make enquiries from some of my old contacts and will let you know if I get any information.

Roy Larkin Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Looking at the list of machinery, my gut feeling is that you would do well to look for a specialist machinery carrier. It will cost more but the risk of damage will be much reduced and they will be used to handling that type of load, have sufficient straps, chains for security etc. Don't forget that what looks like good load security for the road can be woefully inadequate if a stormy ferry crossing is encountered.

Adrian Barrell Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Where in Suffolk are you planning to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.P. Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Likely somewhere in Bury St. Edmunds area, although I will miss the mountains :cry: I know the area quite well and the rental contracts for business units are in reasonable level.
