Contract Distribution

A Dedicated Fleet, Run By Us

For customers with high pallet volumes, we operate vehicles and drivers exclusively for you, on an agreed term and an open or closed book basis.

Contract Distribution

Once your pallet volumes reach a certain point, booking loads one at a time stops making sense. A dedicated fleet does.


We manage the O Licence, supply the drivers and the vehicles, and run the deliveries. You get vehicles working solely on your traffic without taking on an operator licence, a transport manager or the recruitment problem that comes with both.


Where you already run a fleet and are considering outsourcing, we will look at taking over the management of it.

After 20 years based in Salford, Pace Logistics are moving to Irlam. Our new home will be Northbank 40 on Bessemer Road, We gain easier access to the M6, whilst keeping our speedy connections into Manchester central.

What Makes Our Contract Distribution Different.

Fixed rates, dedicated resource, and a network behind it for everything that falls outside the contract.

Any Questions?

We've tried to answer some questions in our FAQ.

What volume do I need for this to make sense?

Enough to keep dedicated vehicles working. Rather than quote a threshold, send us your pallet volumes and lanes and we will tell you honestly whether a dedicated fleet beats buying on pallet rates. Sometimes it does not, and you are better off staying on the network.

What is the difference between open and closed book?

Open book is cost-plus. You see the actual running costs and pay an agreed margin on top. Closed book is a fixed rate per vehicle or per delivery, agreed up front. Open book gives you transparency, closed book gives you certainty. We are happy either way.

Who holds the operator licence?

We do. We manage the O Licence, supply the drivers and vehicles and run the deliveries, so you get a dedicated fleet without the compliance burden of operating one.

What happens when my volumes spike above the fleet's capacity?

The overflow goes onto our regular fleet and the pallet network at agreed rates. You are not stuck because the dedicated vehicles are already out, and you are not paying to keep spare capacity standing idle for the peaks.

Can the vehicles carry our branding?

Yes, on long term contracts. Your name on the vehicle at your customer's door rather than ours.

How We Work

Modern systems, fewer and friendlier miles, better work environments. We plan every load for efficiency, invest in a lower-emission fleet, and treat open and honest communication as the reason customers stay with us.
