looks good mate, when I have time I will have a proper look at it, but first impressions are good.

shame you couldnt offer the 22B as one of the courier cars, might have shaved a few seconds of the guaranteed delivery times
(sod all space though )

good on yer for starting your own business, I did quite a few years ago and although there are loads of downsides, nothing beats being your own boss

That site shouldn't really be using frames though! They probably wont help the engines...
Have you seen what happens when you increase the font size...

A few things I would think about (I am not in transport industry but have been working for B2B and B2C companies in with a web presence for 10 years)

Add a note about coverage, All of UK etc.
Consider a Request a quote section (Start point, end point etc)

You say "We will maintain a modern, fully equipped fleet ", could you add a section on "our fleet?". My thinking is that I would want to know the vehicles were fit for purpose. Pictures of new, clean vehicles should help.

Your first page should be "Home" not "about us", about us pages normally have a more in depth profile of the business/people than the Home Page. I was on the service page and instantly looked for the home page to return from where i was.

The home page should be contain a strap line than sums up what you do, e.g A Flexible, Nationwide Delivery Service run buy experienced professionals

Move your names to the "About us" page, add more indepth profiles (you state "our experience In the transport Industry Includes over ten years of International, European and UK driving" thats the page to prove it with the Bio.

I hope you don't object to my comments, they are meant constructively.

Cheers

A contact number on the front page would be nice, I would think your potential customers would like to speak to you not read about how good you are.
