Service
Multi-drop distribution into stores, sites and depots.
Overview
Distribution is judged on what your customer experiences. We build the delivery pattern around their receiving hours, not around what is convenient for a depot.

Why Johnson's
Drops are sequenced to minimise mileage and keep each store or site within its delivery window.
Bookings, labelling and paperwork are prepared to match individual retailer and distribution-centre requirements.
A signed proof of delivery is captured for each individual drop on a multi-stop route, not just the final one.
In depth
Johnson's Haulage arranges commercial distribution for businesses supplying multiple stores, sites or distribution centres from a single despatch. As a distribution and haulage company working through an approved carrier network, we plan the multi-drop route, manage retailer and DC booking-in requirements, and capture proof of delivery at every stop — keeping store replenishment and trade deliveries running to schedule.
Commercial distribution typically means one despatch splitting into several deliveries — stores, depots or trade customers along a single route. We plan the drop sequence to keep mileage efficient and each stop within its agreed delivery window, rather than treating every drop as a separate booking.
Major retailers and distribution centres each have their own booking-in systems, labelling standards and delivery-slot rules. We prepare consignments and paperwork to match individual retailer requirements and manage the DC booking process, reducing the risk of a load being turned away on arrival.
Regular replenishment cycles — daily, several times a week, or on a rolling schedule — can be arranged as a standing commercial distribution programme, giving stores and trade customers a predictable delivery pattern they can plan stock and staffing around.
On a multi-stop route, each drop is signed for separately, and proof of delivery is captured per store or site rather than only at the final destination — so you have a clear record of exactly when and where every part of the consignment was delivered.
