Supply Chain Standard September 2012 PalletNetworks
Pallet networks are difficult to classify simply because, although they compete in the same market, their operational structures are very different. Some are membership organisations, some are franchises and some are single companies. Sometimes billing is done centrally,
sometimes it is done through member hauliers. As a result, different networks define their turnover in different ways – some by hub turnover and others by total network turnover.
