PalletXpress set to shake up sector

The palletised freight sector is set for a major shake up with the arrival of new entrant PalletXpress, based in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath.

PalletXpress is the brainchild of Kieran Conlon, the managing director of the Dublin-based transport and logistics provider Transland Group.
The new company is chaired by one of Ireland’s leading entrepreneurs Paschal Taggart.

Roscommon GAA boss Tommy Carr has been appointed managing director of the new company.
The company says it will provide a superior express nationwide distribution service for palletised freight.

Based on a hub and spoke concept, PalletXpress has members located throughout the 32 counties.Each member will be responsible for collection and delivery within their designated area. Freight will be trunked to the central hub in Mullingar each night for onward delivery by other members.
