INDEPENDENT parcel carrier ARC Overnight has expanded its Bellshill hub operation in Scotland in a bid to reduce fuel consumption, improve delivery times and cut its environmental impact.
ARC, which has more than 170 delivery vehicles in its fleet and runs 125 depots across the country, is now using the site to retain all its consignments for destinations within Scotland. At Bellshill a third of all parcels received are sorted and distributed in Scotland without ever crossing the border, enabling earlier deliveries. ARC says that as a result it is able to manage drivers' working time better.
