HaulGuard for Felixstowe operators

Container work out of Felixstowe means tight turnarounds, trailer swaps and long trunking runs up the A14. That makes the coupling check and the daily walkaround especially important — and HaulGuard records every one automatically.

Timed booking slots

Container collections run on timed vehicle-booking slots, so turnaround pressure is constant. A guided two-minute check keeps the pre-use inspection real without giving up the slot.

Trailer and coupling discipline

Drop-and-swap is the rhythm of port work. The coupling check — fifth wheel, susie lines, landing legs — is the most important item on every collection, and each trailer carries its own 15-month record.

The A14 corridor

Nearly everything landed at Felixstowe trunks up the A14 towards the Midlands hubs, putting port fleets among the most enforcement-exposed operators in the East of England.
