150 Pallets from Leics to Manchester

[DSLiverpool]

So I’ve done the deal, I’ve 50k filters that need to move to a business partner in Manchester.

They are light

Can go one on another max

Are standard height.

What cost, what am I missing and what can go wrong.

Pistonheads is brilliant at this

Depends on dimensions of the pallets and trailer length, but if they're fairly standard and can fit on on top of each other...

Fit either 24 or 26 pallets on trailer deck (depends on info above). Times 2 if they will stack safely.

Up to 52 on a standard curtainsider. Double decker would get similar quantity on. Swan neck of a DD will only get 8 or 16 on depending on stacking.

Price wise... we would normally pay £400-£500 for Leicester to Manchester distance.

This is the proper price to pay for a decent job, you could punt it out to one of the brokers and save a few hundred quid but risk damage, non collection etc. As it's a one off I'd want to minimise risk ahead of scrimping.
