 On land, the average person can hold their breath for about 30-40 seconds. In water, you might not last 10.

The force of water is brutal. A single cubic metre of water weighs an entire tonne. 1000kg

Updated press release re Calais

updated 14/09/15 We have recommenced our European operations 

It is with great regret that we have to advise you that : ( 16/08/2105  ~ We are reviewing the situation in light of the calmed down situation out there )
Due to the current uncertainty caused by the situation in France around Calais, Clark trading is suspending our European delivery/collection removal operations 

This is despite taking precautions as previously mentioned

With the Farmers and Ferry workers doing what they are doing
Security issue ( migrant activity ) 

As of the 29/09/15 today was day 24 of operation stack in the last 6-7 weeks, with all diversion port operating at capacity the risk of not reaching Europe is currently too high (on time ) and we are talking days and days of delays not an hour or so . 
This year we have lost 24+ hours on only one van on two trips and that including the last trip where stack wa winding down and cot only a few hours. 
Currently the stack is starting and finish constantly so we are unable to plan.

And that with us using +DFDS Seaways UK via Dunkirk ( but Stack effects all channel bound traffic on both sides ) ( We can not afford to have our vans sat in the stack the cot in delays alone i very hard to off set ) 



Just a few figures to put it in perspective 
Severe delays are affecting travellers on both sides of the tunnel. Operation Stack is due to last all week, with 3,600 lorries queuing on the M20. 
Via +BBC News 

UNDER REVIEW 16/08/2015 
We may recommence our European delivery operations soon

Just a bit of fun


# quote of the day


# Both our vans are fitted with a tail lift that is 1.1 metre long and can lift upto 500kg 1/2 ton

Where a truck can't go


Where a truck can't go Our Luton's can :
Weight restricted area ?  no problem they are a 3.5 gwt so they can go most places (there is the odd 3 ton limit bridge but no commercial truck/van can tread there)
Narrow road @ 6 foot 8 apx wide they can fit down most roads ( evn roads a 7 1/2 ton truck can't )
Low bridge : Even our tallest luton is only 11 foot 2 inches tall can fit under nearly any bridge like a 12 foot tall bridge in Selby near the river (railway bridge )





Green Logistics



We try to keep our Co2 footprint low as possible 
Both our vans are  Euro 6 
We also have a mpg target of 28 miles per Gallon
22/08
