Haulage & Transport Company Serving Exeter

Johnson's Haulage arranges road transport for businesses in Exeter and across Devon. We plan every movement from our Stockport office — roughly 250 road miles away — and appoint a vetted carrier positioned near the collection point, so Exeter businesses get national haulage capacity with one named point of contact and one invoice.

Transport services available in Exeter

We arrange full loads, part loads and pallet distribution in and out of Exeter, alongside same-day and dedicated vehicles when a consignment cannot wait for a network service. Loads for Devon 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.

Exeter industrial areas we collect from

Collections and deliveries are regularly arranged at Sowton Industrial Estate, Marsh Barton Trading Estate, Exeter Business Park, Skypark. 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

Exeter is served by the M5 at junctions 29–31, with the A30 and A38 running further into the South West. For international movements we co-ordinate road legs to and from Exeter Airport and the Port of Exmouth, with Southampton and Bristol for larger volumes, so an import or export can run door to door on a single Johnson's Haulage booking rather than being handed between suppliers.

Typical Exeter transport requirements

Local demand is shaped by food and agriculture, construction supply, healthcare and professional services. Common routes we plan include Exeter to Bristol via the M5; Exeter to the North West via the M5 and M6; Exeter to Cornwall via the A30. Exeter is the practical staging point for Devon and Cornwall deliveries, and we often consolidate south-western drops through it rather than running separate vehicles.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a depot in Exeter?

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

How quickly can you collect from Exeter?

Same-day collection is often achievable in Exeter 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 Devon?

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

Do you handle international freight from Exeter?

Yes. We arrange European road transport as well as air and sea freight, co-ordinating the Exeter road leg through Exeter Airport and the Port of Exmouth, with Southampton and Bristol for larger volumes as part of one movement.
