Why Choosing the Right Vehicle from the Today Team Fleet Matters for Your Business

When it comes to B2B deliveries, size really does matter—but not in the way you might think! Having the right vehicle for the job can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth, efficient, and cost-effective delivery. Whether you’re moving critical documents across town or shipping heavy machinery across Europe, selecting the appropriate vehicle from our fleet means avoiding unnecessary delays, costs, or even potential damage to your goods.

At Today Team, our fleet is built for flexibility. From small vans to massive articulated lorries, we’ve got the right vehicle for every job—big or small. Here’s why picking the correct vehicle is essential for your business deliveries:

1. Efficiency & Cost Savings

Choosing the wrong vehicle could mean paying for more space or weight capacity than you need, leading to higher costs. On the flip side, selecting too small a van could require multiple trips, driving up fuel expenses and extending delivery times. For example, our Small Vans are perfect for transporting a single pallet or lightweight goods, while our 7.5t vehicles can carry up to 10 pallets and handle much larger, heavier loads.

2. Avoiding Damage

Sending delicate or expensive equipment in an undersized or inappropriate vehicle can lead to unnecessary wear and tear—or worse, damage in transit. If you’re shipping heavier items, like machinery, selecting the right size and type of vehicle with enough cushioning space is key. Our Luton Vans, for example, are equipped with tail lifts and can carry up to six pallets—ideal for heavier or bulkier goods that need a little extra care during loading and unloading.

3. Speed and Convenience

Sometimes, it’s about getting goods from A to B as fast as possible. But what happens when the vehicle size is too small, and you’re suddenly scrambling to arrange extra transportation? To avoid any last-minute surprises, make sure to assess your shipment’s weight and size properly. For larger shipments that need to be moved quickly, our 18t vehicles or Articulated Lorries can carry up to 26 pallets, ensuring that big jobs are handled efficiently in one go.

4. Tailored to Your Specific Needs

Whether it’s two-man deliveries for added security or the option for a tail lift to safely handle heavy loads, having a fleet with a variety of specifications ensures your delivery can be customised to your needs. For instance, our Two-Man Delivery Service is perfect for more delicate deliveries, where having a second pair of hands ensures safety and efficiency.

5. Sustainability & Planning

Choosing the right-sized vehicle isn’t just good for your budget—it’s better for the environment too. Overloading or underutilising vehicles increases unnecessary trips and emissions. Our fleet offers a range of vehicle sizes, allowing us to optimize each trip for efficiency, reducing our carbon footprint and helping businesses meet sustainability goals.
