UK & European road freight
Road freight
UK and European road freight using the vehicle, routing and customs process that fit the actual load—from one urgent pallet to a dedicated 13.6-metre trailer.
How the service is planned
Built from the cargo data, route and delivery requirement.
Carnigo plans road movements around pallet count, dimensions, weight, stackability, loading access and delivery conditions. We source suitable capacity through our UK and European carrier network, compare the workable rates and keep the CMR, customs references, milestones and POD connected to the job.

Documents and data
The references behind the movement.
Transport paperwork, customs data and shipment instructions must describe the same goods. Carnigo follows those links through the operating chain.
Road consignment note
Records the shipper, consignee, carrier, goods and carriage instructions for an international road movement.
Commercial invoice and packing list
The commercial value, commodity, origin, package count, weights and dimensions must reconcile before customs submission.
Border movement references
Export, import or transit references are matched to the vehicle, trailer and route where the movement requires them.
Proof of delivery
Signed delivery evidence is followed up and returned so the shipment can be operationally closed.
Trusted partner network
Wider capacity. Comparable rates. One Carnigo contact.
Our carrier network gives Carnigo access to small-vehicle operators, regional hauliers, European groupage networks and dedicated trailer capacity. We compare route, equipment, timing and partner rate before recommending the workable option.
