West Midlands-based Nightfreight has begun a pay-as-you-go home delivery service, offering retailers transport savings of up to 50%. Targeted at distributors and retailers that have their own fleets, the service will be managed through Nightfreight's Deliver2Home
team. The group cites not having to pay for a fixed and rigid contract as the main benefit of the scheme.
Up to 50% can be saved on transport costs with the new variable charging system, in which customers pay for the actual number of deliveries required. Currently 50 HGVs and 110 staff are involved.
