What is Logistics ?

We are Clark trading group and among other things we are engaged in logistics but what is logistics ?

Well for one thing all business and people rely on logistics it is the lifeblood of the world but why? Logistics put simply is the management and movement of goods and people from A to B. So take the train or bus that logistics. Without the lorries of the logistics sector or vans for that matter no food or goods in the shop.

Here a short list of some things that are logistics:

• Warehousing 
• Road haulage (light haulage as well)
• Rail freight  
• Etc.

But where do we here at Clark trading group fit into the picture ?

We are engaged in road haulage or more precisely the light haulage sector.  

And to put it simple road haulage is the transit of goods by road and the light haulage sector is movement of goods up to about 3 tons or so (we have a max gwt of 3.5 tons by the way)

Well as with any industry there can be a lot of terms and the such like

 1 ton = 1000 kg or 2200 pounds

C+E = A class of lorry the largest on UK Roads at up to 44 tonnes (As pictured below) our driver has over 20 years experience from driving these all over the UK and even EU 

So there are a few terms for you
