Become a bwd Haulier
Haulier Setup
We are continually looking to work with new hauliers within the UK and throughout Europe and can offer various options for engagement to suit each haulier’s circumstances and requirements.
General Subcontracting
For operators looking for suitable loads, shift work or ad hoc traffic, we manage over 950 loads per day within the UK and throughout Europe. We are happy to work with hauliers on a job by job basis or, where appropriate, we can look to allocate traffic lanes to hauliers to give a greater degree of certainty to operators requiring a guaranteed traffic flow.
Our teams in Preston, Glasgow and Trowbridge will liaise with your traffic department on a daily basis to establish requirements and offer suitable work.
Dedicated Fleet Operators
We currently work with over 200 hauliers in the UK on a dedicated basis for bwd. These vehicles are managed by our expert planners at our Preston office operating throughout the UK. We are looking to increase this number to 400 by the end of 2026, so please register your interest.
The majority of dedicated fleet vehicles operate on a tramping basis, and our planners take responsibility for ensuring vehicles are planned on bwd work throughout the week and back to their home base at the end of the working week.
Our planners will work closely with you and / or your drivers to ensure vehicles are run efficiently and target earnings are achieved across the week. In addition our admin team will support you to minimise the admin burden, helping ensure speedy and accurate payments each week.
