The face of the moon was in shadow

Almost before we knew it, we had left the ground. All their equipment and instruments are alive.Mist enveloped the ship three hours out from port. The spectacle before us was indeed sublime.A red flair silhouetted the jagged edge of a wing.

Dedicated road freight to France

Dedicated Vans & Trucks to and from France

Direct transport for business goods between the UK and France. From urgent components to machinery and full loads, your shipment travels on a vehicle reserved for you.

Paris, Lille, Lyon and beyond

ACS arranges deliveries to French customers and project sites, supplier collections and return journeys to the UK. We can check deliveries across mainland France, with the route and timings assessed against the full delivery address.

You deal with our team from the first enquiry through to delivery confirmation. We coordinate the collection, crossing and onward journey, keeping you updated along the way.

Planning your delivery in France

Crossings and delivery appointments

A delivery to northern France has different timing requirements from a journey further south. We plan the crossing alongside the collection time, onward driving and receiver’s opening hours. If there’s a fixed unloading appointment, tell us before booking so we can assess the complete journey.

City addresses and exhibition venues

The postcode may take the driver to the main entrance rather than the delivery point. For city premises, exhibitions and event sites, send the unloading address, vehicle access instructions and any booking or site-pass details. We’ll make sure the driver has them before arrival.

Collections from French suppliers

We can collect goods for delivery to the UK or another European destination. Confirm that the order is released and ready, then send the collection reference and a contact at the loading site. Packed dimensions and weight help us arrange a suitable vehicle.

A van for urgent parts or a truck for a larger load

Panel vans suit cartons, components and smaller pallet loads. Curtain vans offer side-loading access for bulkier goods. For heavier consignments, machinery or full loads, we arrange rigid and articulated trucks.

We’ll check the shipment’s size, weight and loading requirements alongside access at both sites. You don’t need to fill the vehicle to book dedicated transport.

Have the paperwork ready for the journey

For UK–France shipments, let us know who is handling export and import clearance and when the documents will be ready. We’ll coordinate with your customs broker and confirm any customs stops as part of the route.

If you need help with the arrangements, speak to our team before booking so we can establish what support is required.
