"Our Weekly Scheduled   Part Load Shared Vehicle Service" To Mallorca   

                              With a 100% On Time record for 2010

This is the most popular service, and on which your Quotation has been based. The effects are collected in one week, and then delivered the following; our Prime Mover will depart our Kent base on the Monday morning to arrive in Mallorca on the Wednesday morning. UK collection crews cannot accept nor specify delivery dates,

The Truck is unloaded at our Mallorca Depot onto a fleet of smaller delivery vehicles. It can take up to two days for the whole truck to be unloaded and delivered; it is not unusual to have over twenty five separate jobs on one truck arriving from the UK.

Every one of our clients are important to us, the Spanish Office will be in touch with you to advise you of the day and approximate time of delivery as soon as possible, again a 24 hour contact number for you is required

A Few Things Explained!

It is in all "Movers" Terms & Conditions that they can "Part Load" your move, unless it is written in the contract that you will be having the truck just to yourself.

It is also written that they can Sub - Contract your Job out to another carrier!

It's two ferries & nine hundred and seventy miles, Calais to Barcelona, so schedules can be affected when Ferries, Motorways etc have problems. We cannot be held responsible for delays caused outside our Control.  But we do know a few tricks when there is problems en route, hence our 100% success rate in 2010


What a Lot Of Customers are not Aware of

HGV Trucks are restricted to 90 Klms Top Speed
Maximum of Ten Hours Driving Per Day
Min Break of Twelve Hours Per Day
Not Allowed to Drive HGV on the Continent on Sundays, Bank Holidays
French Customs do Target UK Plated Vehicles

It is 19 Hours just driving Calais to Barcelona on the Speed Limiter

Driving Down ?

Two Routes from Dover are,

Calais, Reims, Dijon, Lyon, Montpellier, and Barcelona.
This is the most effective but expensive route with regards to Road Tolls, we use this route as it is more “Truck Friendly”

Or try, Calais, Paris, Clermont Ferrand, Millau [Over the New Bridge, Stunning Views] Lodeve, Beziers, Barcelona,
This is a far prettier route, very hilly in the South, it is mathematically shorter, but Paris can be a nightmare at times,   

Getting round Barcelona to the Port

Go round the ring road, almost a complete circle or run the gauntlet and go on the main road into Barcelona. Five minutes after you leave the First Toll Booth just outside Barcelona get into the left hand lane headed for Barcelona. You will come to another Toll booth, and then it is signposted Port, Zona Franca. You will start going through the tunnels (NO HGVS ALLOWED) after 5 minutes, watch out for exit number 21. If you miss this just go to the next one and come back on yourself. The Port is a two minute walk from “The Ramblas”

 Safe Trip!
