How Does European Road Freight Work?

European road freight moves goods by road between the UK and mainland Europe, usually crossing by ferry or the Channel Tunnel.

Service types

Groupage, part load, full load and dedicated express cover everything from a single pallet to a full trailer.

Documentation

Goods crossing the UK and EU border need the correct customs paperwork, which varies by goods and destination.

Timescales

Dedicated movements are fastest. Groupage takes longer because consignments are consolidated.
