Overnight delivery complete in Inverness ✅

Big shout out to our driver Jason who safely delivered ADR freight through the night up in a cold Inverness.
Professional, reliable and always representing the company to the highest standard – great work as always 👏
ADR work requires precision, compliance and experience, and it’s drivers like Jason who make it happen every day.
And of course… no trip to Scotland would be complete without sampling the local cuisine!
Jason went for a Haggis pizza 🍕
The question is…

Would you eat it? 😄

Did you know one small paperwork error can delay your entire shipment? 🧐

In freight transport, timing is everything, but some of the most common delays aren’t caused by traffic or ports.

They’re caused by:
• Incorrect commodity codes
• Incomplete or inaccurate commercial invoices
• Missing customs information

Even minor discrepancies can trigger inspections or clearance holds.

At Hexagon Group, we work closely with our clients to check documentation before shipment, provide customs guidance, and reduce the risk of costly delays.

If you're moving freight through Manchester, Normanton, or internationally, preparation makes all the difference.
