Inside the M25, and a considered distance beyond it.
Fleetable runs dedicated chilled multi-drop routes inside the M25, and to sites beyond the ring where a set driver and a backup can genuinely hold the window. It is contracted courier capacity rather than a job-by-job booking, so an outer round is priced on mileage and an empty return leg rather than on zone charges. Coverage is confirmed against driver availability before anything is quoted.
The problem
Past the ring, the empty miles start to count.
A route that stays inside London is paid for in time. A route that crosses the M25 is paid for in miles, and in the ones nobody talks about: the vehicle has to come back. A production site in the Home Counties feeding London sites, or a London kitchen feeding a venue outside the ring, changes the arithmetic entirely — the zone charges usually disappear and the return leg becomes the largest single line on the estimate.
How it works
Proven on one route first
So an outer route is priced with the return leg visible: half the outbound miles, on its own line, next to the mileage, the loading and the waiting. Where a backhaul can be planned into the same run it is, because that is what actually reduces the number rather than a discount that hides it. The round runs against the peak on the orbital where the schedule allows, with a set driver holding it and a named backup behind them.
The honest limit
A route we cannot hold is one we say no to.
Beyond the ring, coverage stops being a shape on a map and becomes a question about people: is there a driver who can hold your window on your day, week after week, and a second one who can hold it when the first cannot. In a dense operating area the answer is usually yes. Further out it sometimes is not, and you are told that rather than sold it.
Saying no to a route costs less than missing one. A single site nobody can reliably reach costs more in one broken week than it earns in a quarter, which is why availability is checked against your actual delivery windows before anything is priced.
The London half of the network, and why the map starts there, is set out on the coverage area page, alongside how a new area is confirmed on your own sites.
