Digital Freight Services
HGV and pallet network capacity for shippers across the UK
ReadyRoutes provides digital freight brokerage for shippers who need HGV and pallet network capacity beyond large van size. Through our Haulage Exchange partnerships and direct contracted carrier relationships, we connect shippers with qualified, insured freight operators across the UK — managing the relationship, the documentation, and the proof of delivery on your behalf.
This service operates alongside our managed van delivery network, giving clients a single point of contact for freight requirements across all vehicle sizes.
Freight brokerage built on operational experience
Digital freight brokerage is a straightforward concept — connecting shippers who need loads moved with carriers who have capacity to move them. The difference between doing it well and doing it poorly lies entirely in the quality of the carriers used, the reliability of the documentation, and the consistency of the service.
ReadyRoutes brings 30 years of operational experience in road freight to the brokerage relationship. We understand what shippers need — reliable transit, accurate documentation, and a single contact when something needs attention — and we build our carrier relationships around delivering it.
We operate through Haulage Exchange and direct contracted carrier partnerships, giving access to a broad and flexible UK capacity network without the operational overhead of managing it yourself.
What we provide
HGV capacity
We source and manage HGV capacity for full and part loads across the UK — matched to your consignment, managed through our carrier network, and documented from collection to delivery.
Pallet network distribution
For palletised freight requiring national distribution, we provide access to pallet network capacity through our Haulage Exchange partnerships — a cost-effective solution for regular and ad hoc pallet movements.
Contracted shipper arrangements
For clients with regular freight requirements, we provide contracted arrangements with agreed rates and priority carrier allocation — the same contracted service standard we apply to our managed delivery operation.
Documentation and proof of delivery
Every load is fully documented from collection to delivery. Proof of delivery is provided on every movement as standard.
Single point of contact
One contact for your entire freight requirement — van delivery through ReadyRoutes, HGV and pallet through our digital freight service. Simpler logistics management across all vehicle sizes.
Fully insured carriers
Every carrier operating through our digital freight service carries appropriate goods in transit and public liability insurance. We verify this before any carrier joins our network.
Why use ReadyRoutes for digital freight
The digital freight market has grown rapidly and there are now many platforms offering automated load matching. The limitation of most automated platforms is that they optimise for speed of matching rather than quality of carrier — and the shipper bears the consequences when a poorly matched carrier underdelivers.
ReadyRoutes applies the same managed, relationship-based approach to digital freight that we apply to our van delivery operation. We take responsibility for the carrier relationship and the service quality rather than simply facilitating a transaction and stepping back.
For clients who already use ReadyRoutes for managed van delivery, the digital freight service provides a natural extension — a single point of contact for freight requirements across all vehicle sizes, with the same service standard applied across all of them.
Where we operate
Our digital freight service operates across the UK through our Haulage Exchange partnerships and direct carrier relationships. Collection and delivery coverage is national — with particular strength in London, Kent, and the South East where our managed delivery network provides additional capacity options.
