About Freight Forwarding in Carlisle

Carlisle's strategic position on the A7 and M6 corridor makes it a natural hub for freight movement between Scotland and England.

T&C Logistics fills that gap with same-day collections across CA1 (city centre near Carlisle Cathedral and the historic marketplace), CA2 (Kingstown and suburban areas), and CA3–CA8 (outlying districts and industrial zones around Carlisle Airport and the A595).

Our courier network has handled over 4,600 consignments annually since launch, achieving a 5.0/5 Google Reviews rating from 25 verified reviews. We guarantee 30–60 minute collection slots and provide end-to-end tracking via GPS.
