Jim DOnlOn is the MD of Midland Container Logistics (MCL).The firm is based on a tidy but windswept open yard in Aldridge in the West Midlands. As you would expect, it is, for the most part, empty of trucks during the week. Jim and his brother Michael, who together run the family-owned business, work hard to ensure that the company's main assets, a fleet of 20 trucks, is kept fully employed and earning. The empty yard when CM visited is a good sign: it means the assets are on the road, serving MCL's customers and thus earning their keep.
