Direct by name. Direct by nature.
Direct Link Haulage is an Edinburgh-based courier and haulage business built around one idea: fewer handoffs, faster answers, and a real person who picks up the phone. We run contracted network routes for major carriers alongside same-day and one-off jobs — the same reliability, whoever's asking.
From a single urgent parcel to a standing weekly contract, we scale to the job rather than making the job fit a fixed service.
Booked and moving within the hour where possible. Ideal for documents, parts, or anything that can't wait for a next-day slot.
Regular routes for businesses with predictable dispatch — daily, weekly, or custom schedules with a fixed point of contact.
Contracted collection and delivery routes run to a national carrier's standards — tracked, on time, and accountable at every drop.
Pallets, furniture, and multi-drop jobs that need more than a parcel van and a five-minute handover.
Direct Link Haulage was founded by two people with years of experience in the courier industry who wanted more than just a job in someone else's van. We wanted to work for ourselves, build something that was actually ours, and put that experience into a business we could be proud of long after the first delivery.
That's still what drives how we run things day to day — not chasing volume for its own sake, but building something that lasts, one job done properly at a time.
No account required to get moving — most first-time customers book by phone or the form below and are collected the same day.
Pickup, drop-off, size, and timing — by phone or email.
A straight quote back, usually within the hour, with no hidden add-ons.
A driver arrives in the agreed window and handles loading and paperwork.
You get confirmation the moment it's handed over at the other end.
We're small on purpose — it means you talk to the person actually moving your goods, not a call centre reading a screen.
You speak to the driver or the owner, not a ticketing system.
Use us for one job or every day — pricing stays fair either way.
We know Edinburgh's one-ways, loading windows, and building access — so timings hold up.
Registered Ltd company, VAT registered, hire & reward insurance, and checked drivers — every job.
