The first ever ‘cargo only’ flight was recorded in November 1910 in the USA, using a Wright Model B aeroplane that flew 65 miles carrying a package of silk. The business owner used the pioneering transport more as a PR stunt to celebrate the opening of his store, with the bundle of silk cut into individual pieces and glued onto souvenir postcards.
At Maurice Ward Group, we believe that reliable road transport requires continuous investment. By regularly modernising our European road fleet, we can maintain the performance our customers depend on while supporting more sustainable road transport.
