02 / Who we are

A local fleet, run by people who answer the phone themselves.

Hampshire Transport has been running out of Millview Barn in Netley for over a decade — a small, owner-operated courier fleet with deep knowledge of the Southampton road network, the Solent crossings, and the M3/M27 corridor at every hour of the day.

We're not a franchise, not a broker, and not a logistics platform. When you call 023 8000 1314, you speak to the dispatcher who's sending the van. That's the whole model.

  • Owner-operated fleet — every vehicle is ours, every driver is DBS-checked and directly employed.
  • Goods-in-transit cover up to £25,000 per consignment, with full chain-of-custody on signed runs.
  • Real tracking, not a tracking page — call the driver direct, get ETA from dispatch, no app required.
03 / By the numbers

Twelve years, one depot, zero missed pickups last quarter.

The kind of reliability that only comes from running a small fleet where the owner knows every driver by first name. We don't scale — we just turn up.
