Haulage & Transport Company Serving Reading

Johnson's Haulage arranges road transport for businesses in Reading and across Berkshire. We plan every movement from our Stockport office — roughly 190 road miles away — and appoint a vetted carrier positioned near the collection point, so Reading businesses get national haulage capacity with one named point of contact and one invoice.

Transport services available in Reading

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

Reading industrial areas we collect from

Collections and deliveries are regularly arranged at Theale Commercial Estate, Green Park, Reading International Business Park, Basingstoke Road corridor. 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

Reading is served by the M4 at junctions 10–12, with the A33 and A329(M) serving the town's business parks. For international movements we co-ordinate road legs to and from Heathrow Airport around 25 miles east, plus Southampton for containers, so an import or export can run door to door on a single Johnson's Haulage booking rather than being handed between suppliers.

Typical Reading transport requirements

Local demand is shaped by technology and data centres, pharmaceuticals, professional services and construction. Common routes we plan include Reading to the North West via the M4 and M6; Reading to Heathrow; Reading to the Port of Southampton. The M4 corridor around Reading is heavily congested in peaks, so timed deliveries are planned for mid-morning or evening windows where possible.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a depot in Reading?

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

How quickly can you collect from Reading?

Same-day collection is often achievable in Reading 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 Berkshire?

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

Do you handle international freight from Reading?

Yes. We arrange European road transport as well as air and sea freight, co-ordinating the Reading road leg through Heathrow Airport around 25 miles east, plus Southampton for containers as part of one movement.
