Transport Brokerage

When planning a complex transport undertaking, it is imperative that every aspect of the operation is properly planned in order to prevent costly delays or damage.

OUR SERVICE:

We offer a transport brokerage service in which we organise road transport for both national and international journeys. This includes:

  • sourcing the appropriate type of vehicle and trailer for the product.
  • sourcing the correct number of vehicles and trailers required for the operation.
  • organising any train or ferry transportation in between the road legs of the journey.

Previous and current undertakings include the transport of:

  • animal bedding from Exeter, Devon to numerous locations around the UK. Included sourcing numerous curtain sided trailers with exceptionally large apertures.
  • fishing equipment from Brixham, Devon to Mallaig, Inverness-shire. Involved coordinating the road vehicles’ journeys with the journeys of the trawlers. Also required the sourcing of vehicles and specialised trailers to clear the low bridges in the Scottish Highlands.
  • an oversized industrial wood chipper from Rochester, Kent to Exeter, Devon. The large dimensions of the machine required the use of a vehicle covered by the Special Types General Order.
  • garden plants from Alicante, Spain to Elounda, Crete. This was a time sensitive operation which required sourcing specialist trailers to house the plants, and involved coordinating the road vehicles with the two ferries required to reach the Greek island.
