Domestic transport

In the UK, DSV operates from 40+ strategically placed locations offering complete coverage from Scotland to Southampton. We administer over 600,000m2 of terminal storage, which is sustained by over 150 distribution vehicles across the country.

The large network of locations facilitates a daily groupage domestic service with distribution to all mainland locations within 24/48hrs. The regular service is accomplished by an average of 10-15 trunks overnight between 7 hubs, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Immingham, Bristol and Purfleet, with the main cross dock situated in the heart of England, Swadlincote, North of Birmingham.

We offer complete coverage to and from all offshore islands including a regular daily service between England and the Channel Islands.
Although we are a global company, all local countries function as independent companies, creating the best and most efficient logistics solutions for our clients.  

Dedicated Customer Service and Account Managers apply the continuous improvement approach to ensure constant optimisation of the overall transport solution relative to the desired transit times.

The state-of-the-art online portal, myDSV, is an advanced booking, track and trace system that also offers real-time notifications. DSV ETA provides you with a 2-hour window for pick-up and delivery times. Unforeseen events, such as queues or roadblocks, are plotted as soon as they appear, so you will receive transparency of your cargo when in transit.

With comprehensive experience in providing special logistics services, we are able to make individual agreements to match specific requests including hazardous cargo and specialised equipment.
