All you need to know about long haulage

What is long haulage transportation?

Long haulage transportation refers to the movement of goods over long distances, typically exceeding 250 miles. Long haulage involves planning and coordination to ensure timely and efficient delivery, often requiring overnight travel and compliance to regulatory standards.

When is it considered long haulage?

Long haulage is typically considered when the transportation of goods exceeds 250 miles. This means extended-distance routes that often require overnight travel.

What is the difference between line haulage and long haulage?

Line haulage and long haulage are each referring to different types of transportation. Line haulage involves the transportation of goods between major terminals or hubs, typically over fixed, shorter routes. It is characterised by regular, scheduled runs that ensure consistent delivery times. In this transportation chain, multiple different sorts of transportation can be used.

In contrast, long haulage refers to the transportation of goods over much longer distances, usually exceeding 250 miles, and often involves crossing regional or national boundaries.

While line haulage focuses on efficiency within a set network and shorter distance per transportation route, long haulage emphasises flexibility and endurance over vast distances.
