HaulGuard for Daventry operators
Around Daventry, rail and road freight meet at scale, feeding distribution centres across the Midlands. The road legs still need the same DVSA daily walkaround and defect discipline — and HaulGuard makes that fast and fully recorded.
Freight around Daventry
The Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) is one of the UK's major rail-road interchanges, sitting on the M1 and A5 at the centre of the Midlands logistics 'Golden Triangle' and generating heavy HGV feeder traffic.
Running a compliant fleet around Daventry
Rail-road interchange work
DIRFT's container shuttles mean constant coupling and uncoupling — the fifth wheel, susie lines and landing legs get checked more times a day here than almost anywhere. Each check needs recording, and each trailer keeps its own history.
A terminal that keeps growing
DIRFT has expanded repeatedly since opening, pulling ever more warehousing and feeder traffic onto the M1 and A5 junctions — more vehicles, more first-uses, more checks to evidence every day.
Shuttle-run rhythm
Short repeated legs make it tempting to rush the morning check, but high-frequency work is exactly where defects accumulate fastest — hubs, couplings, lights — so the daily check earns its keep here more than anywhere.
