Haulage Company Serving Manchester

Why Manchester businesses choose an arranged haulage model

Manchester's mix of manufacturers, wholesalers and e-commerce operators in Trafford Park, Openshaw and the Etihad Campus area often need different vehicle types week to week — a curtain-sider for one job, a Hiab for the next. By sourcing capacity through our approved carrier network rather than a fixed fleet, we can match the right vehicle to each Manchester collection without you needing multiple haulier relationships.

Coverage across Greater Manchester's industrial estates

We regularly arrange collections and deliveries at Trafford Park, one of Europe's largest industrial estates, as well as Roundthorn,Ridgefield and Heywood Distribution Park. Proximity to the M60 orbital motorway means carriers in our network can reach any Manchester postcode and connect straight onto the M56, M62 and M6 for onward UK distribution.

Manchester Airport and port connections

For Manchester businesses that need air or sea freight alongside road haulage, we co-ordinate collections directly to and from Manchester Airport's cargo terminal, and can arrange first/last-mile road legs connecting to Liverpool, Felixstowe and Southampton for container traffic — all managed under one Johnson's Haulage booking.

A Stockport-based team who know the local road network

Being based in Stockport, just off the A6 and close to Junction 27 of the M60, means our planners understand Manchester's congestion patterns — from Regent Road roadworks to Trafford Centre peak traffic — and build realistic collection windows into every job we arrange, rather than quoting generic transit times.
