I think you might find that competitive, especially as it is going to have to be a hiab
I have ordered a large amount of paving slabs from a specialist supplier in Oxford.
Approx 11 tonnes, supplied on pallets - the stone merchant has quoted £450 plus VAT (£540) from Oxford to Standish (M6 jn27)
They use a 3rd party haulier.
I wasn't expecting the haulage to be so much, but I have no basis to compare against.
Can anyone recommend a haulier who may offer a better price, maybe as a return journey from the South to Standish ?
Any useful suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

Agreed, that’s actually a very good price considering the distance. That’s well more than half a day’s work and almost three quarters of a load so they won’t get much more on the lorry and will be relying on fitting that in with something coming back the way.Originally Posted by adrianw
You’re looking at between £800 - £1000 per day for a full day hire of a Hiab depending on where you are.
That’s not a bad price. It’s about 340 miles so it’s going to be about £200 for fuel and £150 for the driver so they’re only charging you £100 for wagon for the day. With 11 ton load weight they might have to bring some on a drag trailer, they will price that in as well. Have they asked you about access? That gets fun at times.

That’s a very good price, Sending 11 standard pallets without a hiab would cost more.
we pay about £200 for a 1T pallet of wood into London, so that price is very cheap for 11 pallets
Thank you to all the folks who took the time to respond.
It's a no-brainer to use the suppliers haulier, which will avoid issues in the event of significant breakages.
