DSV has launched a full load unaccompanied trailer service to and from Germany, Central and Eastern Europe.
The service will ship via Immingham to Rotterdam. The haulage operation both in the UK and within Europe will be provided by DSV’s own fleet of tractor units. The import flows operate in reverse.
The service will be launched in phases, predominantly covering full load movements in phase one with part load and groupage solutions being offered in phase two.
Said a spokesperson: “When your goods are less time-sensitive and not perishable, the unaccompanied service can be very beneficial in terms of cost and availability.
“The UK driver will collect from you and drop the trailer at the port for export, from there the ferry company will ship the trailer to Europe. Once on the quay, one of our European based tractor units will collect the trailer and deliver to your client. The import operation will be conducted as above but obviously in reverse.”
DSV will provide complete tracking of consignments via its myDSV portal.
