What is DLM?
Distress Load Management is a specialist logistics service that provides emergency support when a shipment becomes compromised in transit or upon delivery. This can include goods that have shifted during transport, been damaged, rejected by the consignee or fallen out of specification due to handling errors. In these situations, JJX Logistics offers fast, professional intervention where we can provide immediate assessment, goods rework and next day re-delivery options to put your customer at ease.
As a 24/7 operation, we accept loads at any time—day or night, including weekends and bank holidays—into our secure facility in the heart of the UK in the West Midlands. Once the goods arrive, our team communicates directly with you before any work is carried out with services to document and photograph evidence, complete stock reconciliation, professional re-packing using high-grade materials and can arrange re-delivery to the final destination or return to sender.
Whether your load has been refused at a retailer’s RDC or compromised en route with another carrier, JJX steps in to restore order quickly with full transparency for you and your end customer combining responsive action with detailed reporting enabling your business to recover without delay.

Our round-the-clock availability means less downtime, faster recovery, and minimal disruption to your business.
Immediate Warehouse Integration
As soon as a distressed load arrives at our site, our warehouse team carries out a full visual inspection. Every pallet, box, or container is carefully inspected and photographed with timestamps and details condition notes prior to any handling or rework. These are promptly shared with the customer, offering a level of transparency that offers our clients visibility into the situation, and ensures the alignment between our team, the clients, and insurance companies. This is a vital first step in building trust and accountability.
Presentation, protection, and compliance matter, all goods requiring rework are carefully repacked using clean, undamaged, and regulation-compliant packaging materials. Our team ensures the following of industry standards, providing stability and suitability for the repackaged stock. At JJX, we take care to preserve brand integrity and avoid future damage, so your products leave our warehouse in the best possible condition.
Once the rework of the goods is complete, the handling and storage are crucial when preparing for redistribution. At JJX logistics, all distressed loads are received into a secure, access-controlled warehouse that is monitored by CCTV and alarmed 24/7. Whether the goods are high-value consumer products, sensitive electronics, or hazardous goods, we cater our services to provide a safe and compliant environment for temporary storage and recovery operations. Every step of the process is logged, with staff access noted, and all visitors needing to be pre-authorised and signed in under supervision. Our security-first approach gives customers peace of mind that their compromised goods are in trusted hands, especially in time-critical or high-risk scenarios.
Ensuring Prompt Turnovers, Reducing Lead Time.

At the conclusion of each distress load project, we provide clients with a clear, professionally formatted incident report.
