Sub-contractors and owner-drivers

Excellent rates, year-round container work from every major UK port and inland depot, and payment terms that are kept to.

What we need from you

A current operator licence, goods-in-transit cover, motor insurance, and public and employers liability cover — with the certificates to evidence each. Our sub-contractor pack sets goods-in-transit cover at a minimum of £6,500 per tonne. The operations team will confirm the full requirements when you get in touch.

Container equipment — skeletals, sliding chassis or specialist trailers. Tell us what you run and where you are based.

We are a family-run firm and we treat sub-contractors the way we would want to be treated on someone else’s traffic. Sub-contracting with us is an opportunity to build a long-standing, profitable relationship rather than to pick up the odd load.

Work with us

Sub-contractor application.

Tell the transport office what you run, where you work and how you invoice. If there is a fit, they will come back to you to confirm the details and get you set up.

Not everything is needed straight away — the sections you cannot complete yet can be confirmed with the office. If you would rather talk it through first, call 01473 598228.
