Overview

Road is the backbone of most supply chains, and also where small delays compound. We plan every move around a confirmed pickup window, a named carrier and an estimated delivery that updates as the truck moves.

Choose groupage when cost matters most, a direct service when timing does, or a dedicated vehicle when it cannot wait. You see the price assumptions before you book and every milestone after.

Use cases

When customers choose road freight

  • Store and branch replenishment

    Scheduled pallet deliveries to retail sites with delivery appointments and tail-lift where needed.

  • Factory inbound and outbound

    Raw materials in and finished goods out on regular lanes, with recurring bookings.

  • Project and urgent loads

    Dedicated vans and trucks dispatched the same day for line-down or time-critical moves.

FAQs

Road freight questions

See all FAQs

How do you price pallets?

On chargeable weight: the greater of the actual weight and volumetric weight (we use 333 kg per cubic metre for road). Fuel and any accessorials such as tail-lift are listed separately.

When does a full truckload make sense?

Usually from around 12 tonnes or when your freight fills more than half a trailer. Our team will compare both options when you request a quote.

Can I book a timed delivery?

Yes. Add a delivery appointment and we will agree the slot with the receiver and confirm it to you.
