The range of services we provide guarantee there is a solution for everyone – allowing us to meet tight timeframes for delivery, lower the cost to meet budgets, hold on to stock for you or transport large or dangerous goods. A proportion of our drivers have received the necessary training and hold the appropriate certification to carry hazardous cargo and we have a DGSA (Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor) onsite. The vehicles used in dangerous goods transport are equipped with special safety protection equipment. However, the collection of any hazardous goods must be agreed with our office prior to placing the order. And whatever your cargo, once you hand over your goods to us, we keep a close eye on them until they reach their final destination. After all, all our trucks are fitted with GPS, enabling us to constantly monitor their exact location from the start to the end of the journey.
