Service
Cross-border groupage and full loads, seamlessly cleared.
Overview
Cross-border road freight lives or dies on paperwork. We prepare the documentation before the vehicle loads, so the delay risk sits with the ferry timetable rather than your entry.

Consolidated loads and intermodal routing to lower cost and carbon.
In depth
Johnson's Haulage arranges scheduled European road freight services between the UK and mainland Europe — full loads (FTL), groupage (LTL) and temperature-controlled movements — with customs support arranged through approved partners. Post-Brexit, our combined transport-plus-customs coordination removes the paperwork headache and keeps your cross-border freight moving.
Weekly departures to and from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland and Scandinavia — with fixed cut-off times and transit commitments. Groupage lets you ship a single pallet or part-load without paying full-trailer rates.
Direct A-to-B full-load haulage across Europe on curtain-side, box, mega-trailer and temperature-controlled equipment. Ideal for time-sensitive, high-value or sensitive freight where groupage handling is not an option.
UK and EU declarations, T1 transit documents, CMRs and GVMS references are prepared through approved customs partners, who coordinate with border agents at Dover, Folkestone, Harwich, Killingholme, Calais, Dunkerque and Rotterdam so vehicles clear without unnecessary delay.
Chilled and frozen trailers, dual-compartment reefers, high-value secure and double-decker mega-trailers can all be sourced on our European lanes through carriers holding the relevant approvals, with progress updates throughout the movement.
