A Bradford-based haulage firm has become the latest company to join Palletways, Europe’s largest and fastest growing palletised freight network.
P.D. Bannister Haulage Ltd based on West Yorkshire Industrial Estate, Weaverthorpe Road Bradford, is a family owned business founded in 1973 as a milk round and parcel delivey service. As demand grew so did the beginnings of P.D Bannister Haulage and since then, the company has grown considerably. Today it has a large fleet of articulated and rigid vehicles, delivering to major retailers RDC’s nationwide, specialising in cross-docking consolidated groupage and full loads.
Joining Palletways, the haulage firm will handle single pallet loads to large scale consignments and will cover the BD postcode in Bradford.

Demand for palletised freight services has risen rapidly over recent months as the global economy continues its recovery and I look forward to utilising P.D. Bannister’s experience to grow our business even further in Yorkshire.”
