Our Road Freight Services

With ASC, road freight isn’t just about trucks on highways; it’s about an integrated solution that becomes a seamless part of your supply chain. As your road freight forwarding partner, ASC takes on the critical tasks needed to transport your goods overland reliably. Here’s what we handle:

Route Planning & Transit Optimisation

We plan the journey for your shipment, accounting for distance, road quality, and border checkpoints to select the best route and schedule transit to meet your required delivery time. Our goal is to move your cargo by road in the fastest, most efficient way possible, while also ensuring safety and compliance.

Transport Mode & Vehicle Selection

We offer everything from dedicated full truckload (FTL) services to less-than-truckload (LTL) groupage, to express van couriers. We help determine the appropriate vehicle type, or even specialised equipment like tilt trailers or flatbeds for oversized items.

Cross-Border Expertise

If your road freight crosses international borders, we manage the necessary customs documentation and border formalities. We prepare and lodge these documents in advance so that the truck can clear borders with minimal waiting. Additionally, we handle any permits or regulations particular to countries en route.

Load Management & Tracking

We supervise the loading of your goods to make sure they are secured properly for road transport. This includes planning the load order (for multi-drop routes, we load in drop sequence). During transit, we utilise GPS tracking or get milestone updates from our carrier partners, so we always know where your shipment is.

Delivery Coordination

Upon reaching the destination, we coordinate any needed local delivery specifics. Our driver or local agent will handle any check-in procedures at warehouses or distribution centres. After unloading, we ensure proof of delivery (POD) is captured and promptly relay that confirmation to you.

Problem Solving on the Road

If an issue arises during transit, like a vehicle breakdown or an unforeseen road closure, we spring into action. We’ll arrange alternative transport or adjust the route on the fly. By being proactive and resourceful, we prevent small hiccups from becoming big delays.

ASC, Your Trusted Partner for Road Freight Forwarding

Advanced Supply Chain has built a road freight network that you can rely on for speed, coverage, and reliability. Here’s why partnering with ASCG for road transport gives your business an edge:

Expansive Road Network & Coverage:
With operations across multiple sites in the UK and Europe, ASC offers extensive road coverage. We have a strong presence and infrastructure in key logistics hubs, enabling daily services to and from major economic centres across Europe. We either service it directly or through strategic alliances with reliable road freight specialists in areas where we don’t have physical operations.

Fast & flexible Options:
ASC’s road services are tailor-made and flexible. We offer: same-day or next-day express delivery for urgent shipments; 24- or 48-hour economy services for less urgent freight; scheduled departures for regular flows; and ad-hoc options whenever you require.

Full Load, Part Load, or Small Consignment:
Whether it’s a full truckload (FTL), a part load (LTL/groupage), or even a single pallet, ASC provides the appropriate service. Our groupage network will combine your freight with other shipments, optimising costs while ensuring each delivery meets its deadline.

Network of Partners:
Outside our core areas, we have vetted partner carriers. We ensure they meet our performance and security standards. This allows us to offer “local” quality service even in regions where we may not have our own depot. Importantly, all such partners are tightly integrated into our system and oversight, so from your perspective, it’s still an ASC service end-to-end.

AEO Accreditation

Our Global freight division holds Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) accreditation, with direct links into CHIEF – HMRC’s electronic submission system for faster customs clearance – and we are members of the British International Freight Association (BIFA). Click here to view terms and condition.
