How we load a Riyadh truck in 22 minutes
Twenty-two minutes from arrival to wheels-up is our Riyadh-yard benchmark. Here's how we do it and why it matters for delivery times.
When a delivery is on the schedule for 10am, the truck is at the gate at 9:55am. The driver parks in a numbered bay — the number corresponds to the order, not the truck. The forklift is already running.
Inside the warehouse, the order was palletised the night before. The pallets are stacked in dispatch order, with the first delivery stop nearest the loading bay door. Each pallet carries a numbered packing slip that matches the customer's cut list.
Sequence matters:
- Pallet 1 — headboard panels. Goes on the truck first. These are the items the fitter wants first when they arrive on site.
- Pallet 2 — wardrobe carcasses. Same logic: fitter unpacks these second.
- Pallet 3 — finishing materials. Last on, first off the truck.
The driver signs for the order, takes a photo of the loaded pallets, and the truck is wheels-up by 10:17am. Twenty-two minutes total.
What this means for you: when we quote a delivery window, we mean it. The 22-minute loading time is consistent because it's not a human-organisation problem — it's a layout-and-sequence problem that's been solved. Our bottleneck is traffic, not the yard.
Same-day cut-and-deliver is available inside Riyadh for orders confirmed before 10am. 48 hours to Jeddah, Dammam, and the major contracting hubs.
