Services / Haulage
Haulage and transport that keeps your schedule intact
Daily runs between Southampton, the South Coast ports and destinations nationwide, with drivers who know port procedures and site deliveries inside out.
A fleet sized for the job, not the invoice
DBC Logistics & Haulage moves freight for importers, builders' merchants, manufacturers and container customers across the UK. Whether it's a single pallet on a shared run or a dedicated vehicle held for your site all day, the job is planned by the same team that answers the phone.
Our vehicles cover curtainsider, flatbed and skeletal work, so containers, palletised goods, steel and plant can all be handled without subcontracting the difficult parts to somebody you've never spoken to.
Every movement is tracked from collection to delivery, with electronic proof of delivery issued the same day and a named contact you can call while the wheels are still turning.

Common questions
Good to know before you book.
Which areas do you cover?
We're based in Totton, Southampton and run nationwide across the UK mainland, with the heaviest coverage on the South Coast, London, the Midlands and the South West.
Can you collect containers directly from the port?
No — due to health and safety we do not collect containers directly from the port. We arrange safe, compliant handover at an approved depot or your site.
How quickly can you quote?
Most haulage enquiries are quoted the same working day. Send the collection and delivery postcodes, weight and dimensions and we'll come back with a fixed price.
Are my goods insured in transit?
All loads are carried under goods-in-transit insurance. If your consignment is high value, tell us at booking and we'll confirm the cover in writing.
