Dedicated UK & European transport, on time, every time.
Overview
Road freight is the backbone of most UK supply chains, and it is where the majority of our planning work sits. We price the movement, select the vehicle and stay with the consignment until it is signed for.

In depth
Johnson's Haulage is a UK road freight and haulage company delivering full loads, part loads and pallet distribution across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and mainland Europe. As a freight forwarder and transport manager, we source capacity through an approved network of carriers — combining nationwide reach with the responsiveness of a family-run business and a single point of contact for every movement.
Whether you need one urgent pallet moved between London and Manchester or a rolling programme of full loads to a national distribution centre, our road freight service scales to fit. Through our approved carrier network we source 3.5t vans, 7.5t and 18t rigids, curtain-side trailers, box trailers and crane-mounted vehicles — allowing us to price both direct A-to-B transport and multi-drop pallet distribution competitively.
Our dedicated same-day service arranges urgent freight the moment you book — no groupage, no unnecessary handling, no delays. For scheduled distribution, next-day economy and premium delivery to any UK postcode is arranged through partner pallet networks, with electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) on completion.
Regular groupage and full-load departures cover France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy and Scandinavia. Export declarations, transit documentation, CMR paperwork and EORI compliance are arranged through approved customs partners, so your cross-border freight moves without unnecessary delay at Dover, Folkestone, Harwich or Killingholme.
Before a carrier joins our approved network we check its operating credentials and insurance cover, and we re-check goods-in-transit limits against the declared value of each consignment. Movements follow documented booking and exception-handling procedures, and we consolidate loads and plan return legs to reduce unnecessary mileage.
