Night trunking — yesterday's collection, tomorrow's first drop.

Daytime traffic kills delivery windows. Night trunking sidesteps that — we collect from you at the end of the working day, run the load through the small hours when the motorways are empty, and have the trailer parked at the destination before the receiver opens the gate. Collections happen at your depot, warehouse or site — wherever the freight is — not just at our Tallaght base. Capital Logistics runs scheduled night-trunk routes from there on the major Irish corridors and into the UK, with a 24/7 operations desk live on every shift.

How a night trunk run works

A driver collects from your premises in the late afternoon — your depot, your warehouse, the site, the factory, wherever the freight is. If the run consolidates with other shippers, the trailer routes through our Tallaght warehouse for cross-dock and load planning; on dedicated full loads, the truck heads straight onto the trunk route. The driver runs inside their legal tachograph hours, reaching the destination depot or final delivery point in the early hours, where local rigids fan out for the early-morning drops — before the receiver opens the gate.

When night trunking pays for itself

If your customers expect a before-opening drop, night trunking is the only way to make next-day work over distance. It's also the right answer for retail replenishment, fresh-food distribution, parts-to-line manufacturing and any operation where a 09:00 delivery is too late. Daytime traffic on the M7 between Dublin and Limerick can add 90 minutes to a one-way run — running overnight gives you a predictable, fast window every working night.
