Ace Express Pallets operates a scheduled overnight delivery service
to and from its 250,000 sq ft central hub and transit warehouse in Dublin
to any part of Ireland every night.
Every evening, before 9 p.m., a fleet of ‘super cube’ vehicles
departs from local agent depots, which are strategically located throughout
the 32 counties. (Each vehicle carries a minimum of 52 palletised loads:
conventional 40 ft containers hold a maximum of 26 pallets.)
Because these vehicles arrive at the central hub in Dublin by 1 a.m.
latest, and return to their local depot by 6 a.m. latest, no driver
is obliged to work for more than eight hours, guaranteeing one-driver
rosters and ensuring that all drivers strictly observe EC regulations
on working hours and rest periods.
In addition, because the return freight consignments arrive in the local
depots before 6 a.m., our agents have ample time to effect early-morning
deliveries to their customers. Depending on pricing agreements, deliveries
are guaranteed for either pre-10 a.m. or pre-12 a.m. the same day.
