Straight answers on the UK leg

Your trailer crosses the Channel on its own, without your truck or driver. We collect it at Dover with a UK driver, deliver it to your customer on the agreed slot and bring it back to Dover for the return sailing. Your truck and driver stay in Europe and keep earning.

European hauliers and forwarders moving full trailers into the UK, often from Italy, Germany, Spain, France and the Netherlands, who want a reliable UK partner instead of sending their own driver across.

Your driver does not lose a day or more on the UK round trip, there is no second driver, no UK overnight and no empty run back to the port. You pay for the UK leg only, and your truck stays on European work.

A long-distance driver often runs out of driving hours near the Channel and has to take a daily rest. A fresh UK driver collects the trailer at Dover and drives straight to the delivery, so the load usually arrives hours sooner.

Anywhere in Great Britain. London and the South East are a few hours from Dover, Midlands distribution centres are one shift, and for Scotland or other long runs we change drivers on the way so the trailer keeps moving.

Yes. After delivery we bring your trailer back to Dover, empty or with a return load if you have one, ready for the sailing you choose.

Goods entering Great Britain through Dover need a Goods Movement Reference (GMR) from HMRC's Goods Vehicle Movement Service. For unaccompanied trailers it is normally created by whoever arranges the crossing. We can create and manage the GMR for you, or check yours before the trailer sails.

Yes. We are very experienced with transit documents and GMRs, and we work with customs agents for import declarations, so the trailer is cleared without delays at Dover. Tell us what you already have and we will cover the rest.

Either you or us. Many hauliers keep their own ferry contracts and simply send us the booking. If you prefer, we book the Calais–Dover crossing and the return for you.

We are TAPA TSR 2 compliant: our trucks, drivers and processes follow the TAPA Trucking Security Requirements at level 2, with planned secure stops, seal checks and 24/7 monitoring.

Yes. We are fully insured for the UK leg, and our terms of carriage set out the cover and liability. Ask us for a copy of the certificate with your quote.

Our ops desk sends updates at each step: collection photos with the seal number within an hour of pick-up, ETA updates on the road, and a signed POD within two hours of delivery.

Yes, as an optional extra. We manage the final delivery slot, call the site and keep your customer updated, so you do not have to deal with UK booking portals yourself.

Our ops desk works in English and Polish, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Send us your flows (origin, UK delivery points, volumes and frequency) through the form on our website, by email to sales@24-seven.co.uk or by phone on 07826 850504. We usually send a relay plan and per-trailer rate within one working day.

Yes. We are looking for Class 1 (C+E) drivers with a Driver CPC and digital tacho card, living within reach of Dover and the M20 / M25 corridor. See driver jobs.
