A.D.R

A.D.R (for road journeys across Europe, agreement on the International Transport of Dangerous Goods by road)

We have a core of drivers that are experienced ADR trained drivers, ensuring that your goods are transported safely to avoid damage, or the risk of damage to themselves, other people or to the environment.

All vehicles that are used in the transport of dangerous goods are fully equipped and marked to transport all classes of dangerous goods (except class 7 radioactive).

Drivers are concisely aware of the security of the load and vehicle at all times, especially when transporting dangerous goods. Securing the vehicles when not in the cab also using secure parking facilities when either taking a break or parking up for the night.

Routes will be planned by the driver in advance using this information in conjunction with satellite navigation equipment.

We have an approved DGSA (Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor) to seek guidance from should you be unsure if your goods have to be transported under ADR regulations, or if they come into the category of limited quantities which allow competent non ADR trained drivers to carry these goods.
