Fleet Vehicle Transport for Carlisle & Borders Transport Managers

Carlisle sits at the crossroads of the M6, the A69, and the West Coast Main Line — the natural logistics hub for the Anglo-Scottish border region. Transport managers serving Cumbria, Dumfries & Galloway, and the Scottish Borders coordinate fleet operations across some of the UK's most sparsely populated — and longest — routes. When a vehicle needs collecting from the south of England, sending two employees from Carlisle is a full-day commitment at minimum. VehicleMove handles the collection from our Devon base. Fixed price. Your drivers stay on their Cumbrian and Borders routes.
