Specialist container handling, freight forwarding, and logistics for cargo moving through Port of Hull. Road collected, expertly handled, delivered on time.
The Port of Hull on the Humber Estuary is a major UK gateway for imports and exports, handling containers, RoRo, and bulk cargo for Yorkshire, the East Midlands, and beyond.
JD Services provides specialist freight handling for cargo moving through Hull. We collect your containers or cargo by road and process them at our Avonmouth facility — devanning, stuffing, heavy lifting, and complex cargo that standard logistics providers can't handle.
Hull is well-served by the national motorway network, making road collection and delivery efficient. Combined with our customs clearance and sea freight forwarding services, we cover the full logistics chain from Hull to final destination.
