GT Couriers, a regular customer for many years of our Doncaster branch, has turned to us for a fleet of seven 18t and 26t Mercedes-Benz Actros flatbeds to service its specialist contract.
The fleet is fully liveried for Donaldson Timber Engineering and has been supplied with centre partitions on the deck for carrying timber and roof trusses.
GT Couriers now provides a complete outsourced contract logistics service to Donaldson Timber Engineering with a full vehicle/driver programme across its eight branches from Scotland to Kent.
Prior to this development in its business, GT Couriers had operated a mixed fleet of 7.5t, 18t and 26t boxes and curtainsiders from us, consisting of DAF, MAN and Mercedes-Benz, on its premium B2B ‘on time, every time’ delivery services.
We support all the vehicles with a full servicing and maintenance infrastructure including service inspections, servicing to manufacturer guidelines, MOTs, tyres, 24-hour breakdown cover and the provision for replacement vehicles.
Jez Gibbins, Director at GT Couriers, said: “When we decided to diversify into contract logistics, we had no specialist vehicles on our fleet, so we had to outsource. We chose Dawsongroup truck and trailer because we already had an excellent working relationship with and Ian and his team, who consistently provide solutions that meet our specific needs.”
Our Area Sales Manager, Ian Brownson, added: “I’m delighted that we were able to match GT Couriers’ high expectations and have enabled the company to broaden its customer base and provide the first-class service Donaldson Timber Engineering expects."
