A fleet that works only for you

Our dedicated contract services are part of our closed-circuit distribution and third-party logistics (3PL) offering. We provide the staff, vehicles and management, and plan the operation in the most efficient way, because flexibility is key for closed-circuit distribution.

Your cargo is monitored the whole time. You get full transparency and regular updates, and together with our in-house distribution service, every road freight requirement is covered.

Planned in our Transport Management System

Routing, scheduling and a live e-POD function all run on our Transport Management System, managed from our Control Tower. Operations managers plan and manage deliveries and measure key performance areas, so your customer service levels are met.

Vehicles built for the job

Vital Fleet builds custom vehicles for dedicated contracts, such as specialised crane trucks, small refrigerated vehicles and Volumax vehicles, alongside a standard range that runs from 1-ton delivery vehicles to 34-ton superlinks.

Who it suits

Dedicated contracts suit FMCG, retail, industrial, manufacturing and cold chain businesses with regular routes, fixed delivery points or service levels that need a team who knows the operation inside out.
