Haulage Company Serving London
London deliveries fail for predictable reasons: the wrong vehicle for the access, a missed timed slot, or a truck that is not compliant with the city's emissions and safety schemes. Johnson's Haulage plans around all three, arranging pallets, part loads and full trailers into Greater London and the M25 corridor through carriers whose vehicles meet the relevant standards.
ULEZ, LEZ and Direct Vision Standard compliance
Vehicles entering London must meet the Low Emission Zone and ULEZ requirements, and HGVs over 12 tonnes need a valid Direct Vision Standard permit with the Progressive Safe System fitted. We confirm compliance with the carrier before allocation rather than discovering a problem at the North Circular.
Vehicle selection for restricted access
Central London and many inner boroughs cannot take an artic. Depending on the site we arrange 18-tonne rigids, 7.5-tonne tail-lift vehicles or Luton vans, and check overhead height, kerbside loading restrictions and any borough-specific delivery curfews in advance.
Timed deliveries and booking-in
Retail, construction and event deliveries in London almost always carry a timed window. We book the slot, brief the driver on the access arrangements and confirm the plan to you, so the vehicle is not turned away and re-delivery charges are avoided.
Transit times and overnight trunking
London is around 200 miles from our Stockport office. Overnight trunking gives an early-morning delivery, which usually suits city-centre windows better than a daytime run. Same-day is available on a dedicated vehicle where the deadline justifies it.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Are the vehicles you use ULEZ compliant?
Yes. We confirm ULEZ, LEZ and Direct Vision Standard compliance with the carrier before the job is allocated.
Can you deliver into central London?
Yes, using vehicle sizes suited to the access — commonly 7.5-tonne tail-lift or 18-tonne rigids rather than an artic.
How long does a delivery from Manchester to London take?
Overnight trunking gives an early-morning delivery; same-day is available on a dedicated vehicle where the deadline requires it.
Do you handle timed and booked-in deliveries?
Yes. We book the slot, brief the driver and confirm the arrangement back to you before dispatch.
Who pays congestion and emission charges?
They are included in the quoted rate where they apply, so there are no surprise additions after delivery.
