We are delighted to announce our 1 year anniversary with Palletforce Ltd on the 4th of July 2023! Chiltern continues to support the Network with its 100% record as shown on the Weekly Operations Report and would like to thank all the other Members for their support and hard work.
As Chiltern Transport continues to invest in the most up-to-date equipment, we are delighted to add two additional tractor units to our Palletforce fleet, these vehicles are equipped with the latest technology; with cameras giving the driver full views of the side of our trailers and a near side lower door window, that supports TFL’s, Direct Vision Standard.
We are also in the process of upgrading out 18-tonne fleet and new curtains have been added to, again the Palletforce fleet, giving the Company image a strong presence in the industry.
GREENLIGHT FOR LONGER SEMI-TRAILERS
Great Britain’s roads introduces longer-semi trailers following legislation approval, from May 31st 2023.
Pallet Network members Chiltern Transport found the additional space that allows up to 8 additional pallets spaces, supporting their aim of achieving reduced road emissions.
It is expected that LSTs will create almost £1.4 billion in net economic benefits by ensuring more goods are carried on fewer vehicles, supporting productivity and boosting the economy.
Introducing LSTs is an important, easy and affordable measure to continue to reduce CO2 emissions from the haulage industry without significant technological and infrastructure development, as the government continues to work closely with the sector to ensure all new heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) are zero-emission by 2040.
We were delighted to assist with the loading of containers to the BP Mauritania site in Northwest Africa; this involves us consolidating deliveries from their suppliers and loading and securing into containers. We inspect each delivery to us, photograph, measure and weigh each delivery and check against our clients packing list.
The following photos will allow you to follow this process.
We welcome our new additions to Chiltern Transport & Warehousing Ltd. We are committed to continuing our investment within the business to make our services the most modern and up to date for all our Clients.
Chiltern Transport & Warehousing Ltd are delighted to announce the addition of our new site in Leighton Buzzard. This gives the company additional parking space for our modern fleet and adds a further 2000 pallet spaces of racked storage to support our customer base.
After 10 years as an award-winning Pallet Network member, Chiltern Transport has changed its pallet network operations to Palletforce, based in Burton On Trent. It is never an easy decision to change pallet network providers as a full member, particularly after 10 years of sustained growth but the operational efficiencies of joining Palletforce were too good to pass up.
By joining Palletforce, Chiltern Transport now only covers the LU postcode area as opposed to the HP, LU and WD areas vastly reducing the area covered therefore reducing fuel usage and minimising dead mileage. An overwhelming majority of the pallet network customers are LU based so this allows Chiltern Transport to focus more on those customers and ensure collections are made on time, every time. Chiltern Transport had been working towards and committed to this change for nearly a year and now the day has come we have been hitting 100% service KPIs from day one!

Another way Chiltern Transport supports the local community –
On Sunday the 24th of July 2022, Bedford had its yearly Bedford River Festival. Chiltern Transport & Warehousing Ltd supplied one of their refrigeration trailers to be used for a very important task; which was to keep the beer nice and cold!

We are pleased to be able to support continued investment into the company with the addition of new tractor units. These have been fitted with all the latest safety and camera technology, which complies with the new government guidelines on Direct Vision Standards.
The Direct Vision Standards (DVS) approach came into force to reduce the amount of road accidents. The scheme requires all HGV’s over 12 tonnes, who wish to operate within Greater London, to have a safety permit. These HGV’s will be given a rating between zero and five stars, all dependent on the level of direct vision a driver has through the windows of their cab. This scheme has been enforced to minimise HGV blind spots, which contributes to many of the collisions and major injuries on our roads.
