With over 21 years ’ experience in freight transportation , Multimodal Logistics ( MML ) offers bespoke transport solutions for all of its customers . “ Since 2013 , we ’ ve initiated a project to run our own fleet of vehicles and move away from the ‘ clearing house ’ model that we had previously used ,” begins Tim Wray , Managing Director . “ We ’ re a specialist container haulage operator , dealing in logistical solutions for freight containers . Today , our fleet , which comprises 65 vehicles and will increase to 70 in November , is split equally between the South and North of England to service UK ports , making use of established inland rail hubs . Through our established road and rail network , we can move containers from any major UK port . We also offer a range of European road and rail transportation services through international rail centers within Europe . Together with our European business partners , we have the expertise and infrastructure to ensure our customers ’ cargo arrives on time and is tracked along its journey .

“ Domestically , we deliver all types of cargo , both locally and nationally , from Cornwall to Scotland . We continue to invest in our fleet of own vehicles year on year . This time last year we had 53 trucks , and we will have 70 in November . When I first spoke to Transportation & Logistics International at the beginning of 2022 , we had 37 trucks , which shows how we ’ ve progressively grown over the last few years . While that growth hasn ’ t always been straightforward , today , we ’ re the preferred supplier for many of our customers and are proud to deliver a consistent and reliable service .
“ In July this year , we bought five new Volvo FH Aero turbo compounds , which are probably amongst the most efficient internal combustion engine vehicles on the road and have proven to be great vehicles thus far .
