Road Freight

Road freight is a good choice when considering a door-to-door service. It has maximum tracking capabilities and paperwork is normally easier via road. Shipping via road has an advantage of being more flexible with delivery times and is normally the most profitable mode of transport for shippers to use. This mode is good to use when people are moving house or goods need to be delivered direct to a warehouse for unloading. Road freight is also used to transport goods inland when arriving at a port to get it to its final destination.

Different modes of road freight can be used, goods can be transported on pallets, on a flat rack when transporting machinery or large bulky items and in containers either 20ft, 40ft or 45ft long. Road freight can carry a single consignment or even multiple shipments if doing groupage.
