Haulage & Transport Company Serving Chelmsford

Johnson's Haulage arranges road transport for businesses in Chelmsford and across Essex. We plan every movement from our Stockport office — roughly 200 road miles away — and appoint a vetted carrier positioned near the collection point, so Chelmsford businesses get national haulage capacity with one named point of contact and one invoice.

Transport services available in Chelmsford

We arrange full loads, part loads and pallet distribution in and out of Chelmsford, alongside same-day and dedicated vehicles when a consignment cannot wait for a network service. Loads for Essex customers are sized to the job — a van, 7.5 tonne, 18 tonne or artic — rather than forced into a fixed vehicle type, and Hiab, tail-lift and moffett options are specified when the delivery point has no forklift.

Chelmsford industrial areas we collect from

Collections and deliveries are regularly arranged at Widford Industrial Estate, Springfield Business Park, Chelmsford Business Park. Access, opening hours and booking-in requirements differ across these sites, so the vehicle and the arrival window are agreed with the site before the carrier is confirmed.

Motorway and gateway connections

Chelmsford is served by the A12 to the M25, with the A130 serving south Essex. For international movements we co-ordinate road legs to and from London Gateway, Tilbury and Harwich, plus Stansted Airport, so an import or export can run door to door on a single Johnson's Haulage booking rather than being handed between suppliers.

Typical Chelmsford transport requirements

Local demand is shaped by electronics, construction, food distribution and professional services. Common routes we plan include Chelmsford to London Gateway; Chelmsford to Harwich for European ferry traffic; Chelmsford to the North West via the M25 and M6. Essex port traffic is timing-led, so we plan collections around the container release or ferry booking rather than a general delivery day.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a depot in Chelmsford?

No. We plan from a single office in Stockport and appoint carriers from our approved network who are already based near Chelmsford, which keeps positioning costs down and gives you one point of contact rather than a call centre.

How quickly can you collect from Chelmsford?

Same-day collection is often achievable in Chelmsford subject to carrier availability, and next-day is routine. Tell us the ready time and the deadline and we will confirm what is realistic before you commit.

Can you deliver pallets into Essex?

Yes. Anything from a single pallet to a full deck can be delivered across Essex through pallet network services, with timed and tail-lift options where the delivery point needs them.

Do you handle international freight from Chelmsford?

Yes. We arrange European road transport as well as air and sea freight, co-ordinating the Chelmsford road leg through London Gateway, Tilbury and Harwich, plus Stansted Airport as part of one movement.
