ROAD FREIGHT FAQ’S

What information do you need to provide a road freight quote?
  • To provide an accurate road freight quote, we will need:

    • Collection and delivery addresses or postcodes
    • Cargo ready date and collection time
    • Required delivery date or deadline
    • Number of packages or pallets
    • Dimensions and gross weight
    • Description, value and nature of the goods
    • Any special handling, security or temperature requirements
    • Loading requirements, including tail-lift or forklift access

    For international road freight, please also provide the commercial invoice, commodity codes and agreed Incoterms where available.

We can arrange a range of vehicles based on the size, weight and urgency of your shipment, including:

  • Small vans
  • Short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase vans
  • Sprinter vans
  • Luton vans
  • 7.5-tonne vehicles
  • Rigid trucks
  • Articulated vehicles
  • Temperature-controlled vehicles

Every vehicle is selected around the cargo, route, loading requirements and delivery deadline.

A customs declaration may be required when goods cross an international customs border, including many road freight movements between Great Britain and the European Union.

The exact requirements depend on the collection and delivery countries, commodity, country of origin, shipment value and customs procedure being used. Domestic movements within Great Britain do not normally require a customs declaration.

 

Scanlon Freight can coordinate the required import, export and transit documentation to help prevent avoidable border delays. HMRC confirms that customs declarations can require information including commodity codes, consignor and consignee details, packaging, transport costs, valuation and applicable licences. 

A dedicated vehicle is allocated exclusively to your shipment and travels directly from collection to delivery.

Your goods are not consolidated with other consignments or transferred through multiple depots unless this has been agreed in advance. This reduces handling, improves security and provides greater control over the delivery schedule.

Dedicated vehicles are particularly suitable for urgent, high-value, fragile, sensitive or time-critical road freight.
