The freight & haulage stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

UK freight + haulage — Cloud Logistics, Mandata, Roadrunner — trailer + driver scheduling, EU + GB customs, ADR awareness, fuel + tachograph compliance.

01 · Trailer + driver scheduling

Mandata-grade planning, owner-readable.

Trailer availability, driver hours, customer collection windows — sequenced on one board. Mandata, Cloud Logistics, or custom — empty-running falls because the next load is already on the schedule.

  • Mandata / Cloud Logistics
  • Driver-hours aware
  • Trailer availability map
  • Backload optimisation
02 · Customs + paperwork

CDS-aware, EU + GB declarations queued.

Customs paperwork pre-filled from the consignment record, CDS-aware exports, T1 / T2 / CMR generated, not re-typed. Borders stop being the bottleneck.

  • CDS-aware exports
  • T1 / T2 / CMR generation
  • EU + GB declaration prep
  • Customs-broker hand-off
03 · ADR + DG compliance

Hazardous goods, by the book.

ADR class, packing group, UN number, segregation rules — on the consignment, on the manifest, on the driver's tablet. DGSA reports auto-generated.

  • ADR class & UN no. capture
  • Segregation rule checks
  • Driver-tablet ADR view
  • DGSA report exports
04 · Fuel + tacho compliance

Tachograph download, fuel cards, infringements.

Tacho data pulled, infringements flagged, fuel-card spend reconciled to driver and route. The compliance binder writes itself.

  • Auto tacho download
  • Infringement alerts
  • Fuel-card-to-route reconcile
  • DVSA-ready exports
05 · Customer ETA portal

Live ETA, POD, claims — branded.

Customers see live ETA, signed CMR / POD, and a clear route to log a discrepancy or damage — on a branded portal. The phone stops ringing.

  • Live ETA & tracking
  • CMR + POD archive
  • Discrepancy / damage form
  • Branded customer portal
06 · BrainBase

Customer SOPs, ADR rules, route briefs — owned.

Per-customer handling notes, ADR procedures, ferry windows, customs broker contacts, secure-park lists — searchable from the cab and the depot.

  • Per-customer SOPs
  • ADR & DG library
  • Ferry & route briefs
  • AI-assisted retrieval
Sample engagement

The thirty-truck haulier that cut empty-running by twelve points.

Thirty trucks. UK + EU groupage. Empty-running running at eighteen percent and nobody could explain why.

A thirty-truck haulier ran UK and EU groupage with empty-running stuck at 18% — the planner knew it was bad, the owner couldn't see it weekly, and backloads went un-quoted because the system didn't show available capacity. Three-week build: Mandata-fed planning board with backload optimisation, CDS-aware customs paperwork, fuel-card-to-route reconciliation. Six months in: empty-running 18% to 6%, fuel cost down forty-four thousand pounds annualised, two driver tacho infringements caught and fixed before DVSA flagged them.

How we measure: Empty-running calculated as empty miles / total miles, weekly rolling, baseline 12 weeks before go-live; fuel cost annualised from per-truck per-mile pence cost vs prior baseline; tacho infringements counted from the auto-download log.
