The X2 (UK) advantage
X2 (UK)’s tramping services operate year-round, providing consistent support to multi-site retailers, logistics companies, manufacturers, and importers. With 5-day, 6-day, or 7-day patterns, and chilled, ambient, and frozen options, we offer comprehensive flexibility to accommodate any operational requirement. With our services including third-party loads, we further increase efficiency and reduce costs, maximising the value we bring to our clients.
Tramping services, also known as tramper services, involve transporting goods over extended distances, often spanning multiple days, with drivers typically sleeping in their cabins during long-haul journeys.
With the tramping process not adhering to rigid timetables or predefined routes, it’s therefore highly flexible—with the service particularly useful for minimising empty HGV running time and optimising cost efficiency.
