Road Haulage Services

Heavy haulers are vehicles that transport a range of different objects, from giant pressure vessels in the chemical industry to prefabricated sections of construction projects.

In addition, they may also have to travel at a specific speed. The classification is based on the size and weight of the load.

Most heavy haulage vehicles fall into one of three categories, with category two and three being the most common.

These vehicles are only permitted to drive at a specific speed on dual carriageways or motorways. In addition to these restrictions, these vehicles may also need to have special permission to transport certain items.

When transporting goods, you might hear about the terms freight and haulage. Both terms refer to the means of shipping goods from one location to another.

The logistics industry is changing rapidly, and most of the services that are offered by haulage and freight companies have changed, too.

Haulage is primarily the transportation of commercial items via land or rail only. It’s an efficient and cost effective way for companies to transport their goods. In the past, most haulage products were raw materials. Today, however, a wide variety of products is transported on a daily basis. And the costs of haulage vary considerably depending on a number of factors.

Freight is the transportation of objects via land, sea and air and is used regularly by companies who wish to ship or import from abroad.

The cost of freight transportation depends on the type and size of your shipment. A truck can generally cover short distances, but larger packages may require rail or maritime transport. Your deadline is another consideration. If your goods must arrive quickly, you may want to look into expedited shipping options.
