Our Services
ADR Hazardous & Explosive Transport
Our ADR-trained drivers are qualified to handle all classes of hazardous goods, including explosives under Section 5 authorisation. We move dangerous and volatile cargo with precision, backed by decades of experience in controlled logistics.
Side-Loader Container Delivery
Our side-loader trailers allow containers to be lifted on or off the ground at customer premises, perfect for sites without loading bays, ramps, or forklifts. This adds flexibility and resilience to your supply chain.
20ft Tipper Trailer Services
We operate 20ft tipper trailers ideal for bulk products such as seeds, grains, charcoal, scrap, and animal feed. Designed for fast unloading, they are ideal for mills, bulk importers, and recyclers needing a reliable tipping solution.
Tautliner Curtain-Side Haulage
Our tautliner fleet provides secure, flexible transport for palletised goods. They’re ideal for manufacturing, retail, and distribution customers needing protection and easy side access during loading or unloading.
Years in Business
Secure, In-House Operations
Our depot includes a fully equipped workshop, wash bay, inspection pit, brake testing lane, and secure gated compound with CCTV and facial recognition technology. This ensures that every container and load remains safe, compliant, and under our control from start to finish.
Services Built on Integrity and Experience
We move containers, general cargo, and hazardous goods daily between key ports including London Gateway, Tilbury, and Purfleet, all within 20 minutes of our yard. Felixstowe is reached in under two hours, enabling flexible delivery schedules and port resilience for our customers.
Family-Owned. Professionally Run
Founded by Dave Perfect and now operated with his two sons, D. Perfect and Sons continues to uphold the same values of loyalty, honesty, and resilience that built its name nearly four decades ago. Our team is known for long service, with most drivers staying over 10 years. A proud testament to our culture and standards.
