19 candidate relay zones plotted on the motorway spine. Each is a swap point where drivers hand loads across legs — the pallet-network hub model, decentralised onto farms, warehouses and self-storage yards. Filter by phase, click a pin for the case, copy the partner brief to send.
The play: pallet networks own overnight trunking because they have hubs. HAF doesn't need hubs — it needs yards: level hardstanding, 2–3 van bays, somewhere secure to swap a load between a local driver and a trunk driver. Farmers, warehouse owners and self-storage sites already have exactly that, sitting idle. Every zone below is picked so a driver is never more than ~45 min from a swap point on a trunk route, and every leg can be a homeward leg for someone.
Zone map
Solid ring = ~25 mi practical catchment. Phase 1 orange = the M6/M1/M62 core spine (covers ~70% of UK freight flow). Phase 2 blue = regional gateways. Phase 3 purple = national reach. Pin popups show the case for each site.

Ideal partner site
“Copy brief” puts a ready-to-send outreach note for that zone on your clipboard — written for a farmer / warehouse / self-storage owner, with the commercial terms left as [to agree] for you to fill. Driver-density per zone comes from PLNA as the network grows — these picks are based on the trunk-route geometry.
