Haulage & Transport Company Serving Plymouth

Johnson's Haulage arranges road transport for businesses in Plymouth and across Devon. We plan every movement from our Stockport office — roughly 280 road miles away — and appoint a vetted carrier positioned near the collection point, so Plymouth businesses get national haulage capacity with one named point of contact and one invoice.

Transport services available in Plymouth

We arrange full loads, part loads and pallet distribution in and out of Plymouth, 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.

Plymouth industrial areas we collect from

Collections and deliveries are regularly arranged at Langage Business Park, Estover Industrial Estate, Faraday Mill, Belliver Industrial Estate. 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

Plymouth is served by the A38 Devon Expressway connecting to the M5 at Exeter. For international movements we co-ordinate road legs to and from the Port of Plymouth for Roscoff and Santander ferry services, so an import or export can run door to door on a single Johnson's Haulage booking rather than being handed between suppliers.

Typical Plymouth transport requirements

Local demand is shaped by marine and defence, advanced manufacturing, food and drink, construction. Common routes we plan include Plymouth to the Midlands via the M5; Plymouth to the North West via the M5 and M6; Plymouth to the Port of Southampton. Plymouth is a long single-driver run from most of the country, so we plan drivers' hours properly instead of promising unrealistic same-day delivery.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a depot in Plymouth?

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

How quickly can you collect from Plymouth?

Same-day collection is often achievable in Plymouth 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 Plymouth?

Yes. We arrange European road transport as well as air and sea freight, co-ordinating the Plymouth road leg through the Port of Plymouth for Roscoff and Santander ferry services as part of one movement.
