Transport orders for vans
Courier runs, spare parts, single pallets: orders for panel vans and Sprinters in regional traffic – plannable and usually without an overnight stay.
Vans cover the segment where a truck is too big and a parcel carrier too unreliable: single consignments on a fixed date, bulky goods, sensitive items that must not be transhipped. That is where most direct-drive orders come from.
Before accepting, check travel to pickup, loading and unloading time, and any return journey. Two deliveries in the same direction may fit together if time windows, capacity and job terms allow it. Do not include an unconfirmed follow-up job in your calculation.
How much your vehicle may actually carry is often less than the load space suggests: shelving, tools and a passenger all come off the payload. The payload calculator works it out from the registration document.
