Cormar Carpet Company has added 10 new trucks to its fleet of delivery vehicles, with the latest investment ensuring it has one of the UK’s largest independently owned delivery fleets in the flooring sector.
Cormar’s fleet delivers across the UK, with more than 75 trucks. The fleet has been boosted by the addition of the DAF delivery vehicles, alongside an additional 15 demountable boxes.
The new units will operate out of Cormar’s distribution centres in Bury, Lancashire and Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. All vehicles are fitted with DVS camera systems and sensor alarms to aid the driver in detecting vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists on the nearside of the vehicle.
‘We continue to invest in new trucks to ensure we achieve the high service levels that our customers have come to rely on, whilst complying with environmental standards. DAF trucks are a favourite with our drivers and it’s great to work with another business local to our northern distribution centre,’ says Joseph Kiernan, Cormar southern logistics manager.
Operational in the coming months, these trucks will showcase the latest Cormar branding and will be responsible for transporting about 1milion sqm of carpet a year.
