Haulage and logistics
Dedicated 3.5 tonne vans for hauliers and forwarders who need a sub-contract van today, with POD as standard.
We move:
- A van when you need one. 25 vans up to 3.5 tonnes, dispatched within 30 to 60 minutes, 24 hours a day.
- Missed deliveries saved. A pallet left behind or a failed drop collected and delivered the same day.
- Your POD, not ours. A photo and signed proof of delivery on every job, sent to you for your customer.
- ADR on request. Four full ADR drivers for dangerous goods, declared in writing before booking.
What haulage and logistics customers move with us
Hauliers, freight forwarders and third-party logistics providers need extra vans when their own fleet is full, a pallet has been missed, a customer wants a dedicated vehicle, or a load is too small or too urgent for a trunk route. We run 25 vans up to 3.5 tonnes, curtain-sided and box Lutons, from Smethwick to every UK postcode, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
What a transport office needs from a sub-contractor is a straight answer on availability, a vehicle that does the job without being co-loaded, and paperwork back quickly. Every job is one load on one vehicle. Vans are GPS tracked. A photo and a signed proof of delivery come back after every job so you can close it with your customer. Four of our drivers hold full ADR, with dangerous goods carried in line with the UK road regulations.

How a booking works
To book, enter the postcodes for an instant price on van routes, or send the job to our operations team if it has several drops or needs a timed slot. Ready now means a driver is collecting within 30 to 60 minutes. Book in advance covers planned work. Regular or contract volumes are quoted by the team. For 7.5 tonne, 18 tonne or articulated vehicles we use our carriers network.
Have ready your job reference, the collection and delivery addresses with contacts and hours, the pallet count and weights, any delivery booking reference and whether a tail-lift is needed at either end. Tell us the name your customer expects on the POD and we will make sure the driver gets it signed in that name.
