A policy of continuous investment in their impressive fleet is a cornerstone of McNally Logistics’ commitment to satisfying the needs of their loyal clients. Transport Manager Alan Reilly informed us that there are ambitious plans for future expansion in the pipeline.

McNally Logistics was established in 2013 and commenced trading with two trucks. Fast forward eight years and the ever-burgeoning company has expanded its fleet to 20. That’s impressive growth by any standards!

In March, 2020 they received the keys of three brand-new DAF XF 480 4×2 tractor-units, with 12-speed ZF TraXon automated gearbox.

The vehicle specifications on the company’s new DAFs include: SuperSpace Cab, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Advance Emergency Braking System, Reverse Warning, MX Engine Brake and full DAF 3-year unlimited mileage, factory warranty.

The company’s Transport Manager Alan Reilly revealed in conversation with Irish Trucker & Light Commercials that the current demand for their services is high and they are planning for further expansion of their well-maintained fleet in the not-too-distant future.

First of all, we asked him why they took the decision to go down the DAF route?

“The price is good,” he answered. “As well as that we have dealt with Paul O’Reilly (DAF Trucks Ireland Sales Manager) in the past and he’s always in and out to us. They provide a good service.

“Initially, we said we’d go with them on a trial. We have them a year now and we’re more than happy with them and the drivers are very happy with them. We’re thinking of going more down the line of DAFs in the future and we’d be expecting to add more DAFs to the fleet in 2022.”

The addition of the three DAFs brought the total number of trucks in McNally Logistics’ fleet to 20 and complimented the existing 14 Volvos and three MANs.

Their solution fleet includes articulated tractor units and curtainside trailers. Their trailers are custom made high curtain sider trailers to ensure maximum value for your transport costs.

All tractor units are fitted with a GPS navigation tracking and fleet and a fleet management system. All trailers are 45ft long and 3m internal height for easy loading. In addition, they have fleet depots in both England and Ireland for speedy dispatch.

Like a lot of companies in the transport industry, McNally Logistics was adversely affected by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic but the company’s Transport Manager reports that they have made a strong recovery and all current indicators point to their graph continuing on an upward trajectory.

“Last year it went very quiet like it did for everyone,” stated Alan who has been with the company since Day 1, “but we are coming back strong. It’s getting back to where it was or even better. Brexit too was a big thing in January of last year but we have been able to overcome those hurdles and now we were are doing a lot more shipping direct to the continent. I’d be confident that business will continue to pick up going forward.”
