European haulageEuropean road freight from the UK to Italy and mainland Europe
Scheduled road haulage to Europe with payloads to 24 tonnes, customs clearance handled in-house and ADR-trained drivers for hazardous goods.
Decades of crossing the Alps
Delphic has been running road freight to Europe since 1997. Long enough that our drivers know the Fréjus, Mont Blanc and Simplon crossings in all weathers, which of them closes and when, which customs posts move quickly, and where to park overnight. That counts for a good deal when a load has to be in Lombardy on a fixed morning.
We operate scheduled UK to Italy routes alongside wider cross-European work, with payloads up to 24 tonnes. It is international haulage on our own scheduled services, moving under CMR, with the customs side handled in the same office that plans the trucks. Take a full trailer, or share one through our groupage service to Italy and pay only for the space you use.
How we work across borders
- Scheduled services to and from Italy, with collections any day of the week
- Late-week collection in northern Italy, UK delivery early the following week
- Customs clearance prepared in-house, every week of the year
- ADR-trained drivers for hazardous goods on international shipments
- Groupage or full trailer, express or standard
Intermodal where it suits the job
On some of the longer continental legs the unit travels part of the way by rail rather than by road. Where the route and the timings suit it, that means lower cost per tonne, less road mileage and a more predictable run through the congested corridors. Most work goes by road throughout; we use rail when it is the better answer, not as a rule.
