What we do
Cumbria Logistics is a proud member of TPN – THE Pallet Network. In fact, we believe so strongly in the service ethos and commitment which TPN shows to our customers that we have just received a certificate celebrating our 15th year of membership.
Being part of a network means we can offer our customers very cost-effective and environmentally sound national distribution for their palletised freight. This is designed as one of our transport offerings, but it frequently becomes a substantial part of many customers’ freight movements simply because it is so reliable and cost-effective.
There are a few reasons we think TPN is the best choice of network for us, and for you:
- TPN – THE Pallet Network is the UK’s leading pallet network. With more than 100 Members and over 120 sites throughout the UK, it offers excellent service levels for next-day, timed or economy deliveries for any palletised goods.
- Its service levels are second to none and, with great IT, excellent regional members and superlative IT systems, its operation is now peak proof. Even when volumes climb, TPN service stays strong.
- With the largest number of depots throughout the UK, TPN offers unrivalled postcode coverage and national service.
- Both Hub and member operations are accredited to ISO 9001 for quality assurance. All TPN Members, including ourselves, are rigorously audited every year.
- TPN’s IT, Connect, lets you enter your jobs online; print your own labels, so you know the details are right; track your pallets all the way to their final destination; and it’ll give you real-time automated updates en route, including the moment your customer signs for their delivery through the award-winning electronic POD system. The TPN App – TAPP – gives you all your pallet network information from your Android mobile or iPhone.
- TPN has purpose-built Hub facilities in Minworth and two regional Hubs at Preston and Northampton.
- TPN has links to Europe and Scandinavia, and TPN.ie, our sister network in Ireland, meaning we can ship your freight just about anywhere you need it to go.

We handle full, half or quarter pallet sizes, and you can see the dimensions on the image on this page. We can also take oversized freight which requires more than one pallet space.
For freight which measures 3m or more in length or width, ask about our expert service TPN XL.
You can download TPN’s customer brochure here. You can also find out more about TPN on its website, or follow it on twitter. Customers are welcome to visit the Hub by arrangement with their local Member.
