Industrial action ‘disrupting’ vehicle deliveries

Industrial action will cause “significant disruption” to driven vehicle delivery services that rely on public transport, says DMN Logistics.

New car deliveries are already under pressure as a result of the shortage of semiconductors and other materials or components.

To mitigate against these pressures, DMN Logistics is employing a range of options to lessen the impact on customers and effectively manage their expectations.

Nick Chadaway, managing director at DMN Logistics, said: “Current transport strikes have had an impact on us, but we have been working hard to minimise the impact on our customers by remaining agile and effective planning.

“As a solutions provider, we have to be able to find ways around the issues that continue to affect our sector and be prepared to adapt our current practices to better suit the needs of all parties.”

He continued: “We have looked at ways of linking jobs, using alternative transport options and placing a greater emphasis on innovative delivery planning to ensure we can deliver within the service timeframe.

“Fortunately, we have built strong relationships with our clients and are in constant communication with them.

“After all, costs will inevitably increase but with constant communication and utilising AI technology for better route planning we have been able to offer a more cost-effective service and manage customer expectations.”
