What we do

European
Road Freight

International sea freight is a crucial aspect of global trade, facilitating the movement of goods from one country to another.

European

Road Freight services

Road freight logistics services play a vital part in the European supply chain, helping businesses to transport goods in and out of the UK and trade with the EU and beyond.

However, with new customs declaration procedures implemented post-Brexit, it has made moving heavy goods across borders more complex. At Cargo Express, we have almost 40 years of experience operating road freight services, as well as a highly qualified international team. We can also act as your Importer of Record and can handle your entire customs operation from dispatch to final delivery, no matter the destination.

Road Freight Services for Importing & Exporting

If you are looking to import or export goods into or from the UK, road freight transport is a reliable solution, and can be tailored to businesses of any size when moving goods across international borders.

Benefits of

Road Freight services

  • Most efficient option for short distances, requiring the least preparation.

  • Our extensive knowledge and experience of customs clearance procedures.

  • Move any type of goods.

  • Easily track your delivery, as our vehicles are fitted with advanced monitoring systems.

  • Minimised delays and costs due to remaining up to date with any legislation changes.

  • Optional to have vehicles with tail lift services.

Groupage services

Groupage services are ideal for businesses looking to transport smaller quantities of goods. Multiple shipments from different companies are grouped together in a single shipment and transported to their final destinations.

Full Loads

Full loads are ideal for businesses looking to transfer large quantities of goods or avoid stopovers for a faster delivery. A single shipment from a client is transported to its destination, with no pallets shared with other businesses.

Distribution

Not only can we export and import your pallets to and from Europe and beyond, our expert warehouse management and storage solutions mean we can also safely store and distribute goods to their final destination.

Our warehousing and distribution hubs in the UK are strategically placed in the Midlands, near to key transport links such as the M6 and M54, Birmingham International Airport and only two miles away from Birmingham city centre. This allows us to provide the quick, efficient, and reliable distribution of our customers’ goods.

Streamlined

International Road Freight Logistics

Road freight transport involves the least amount of paperwork at the border, but the process is even more streamlined now thanks to our AEO status.

With reduced customs delays, your goods are delivered quickly and efficiently to destinations in Europe and beyond.

Having left the EU, we were at a loss as to how to navigate the rules & regulations involved in sending goods into the EU. We contacted Cargo Express, and they were diamonds! Joseph worked tirelessly on our behalf, and thanks to his dogged determination, ensured nothing was left to chance. The consignment arrived safely and on time! I’d not hesitate in using Cargo Express again!
