A gap is headroom on paper, not idle lorries. The register records both numbers and does not explain the difference.

### Need something moved in Great Britain?

Every operator listed on this page holds a current licence from the Traffic Commissioner, which is the legal minimum to carry goods — it is not a quote. Tell us what you need moved, how often, and roughly what size, and we will take your requirement to licensed operators in this area. We are not a broker and we do not hold prices: what we can do is put your request in front of people who are allowed to do the work.

We read every message ourselves. Your e-mail is used to reply to you and to pass the requirement on, and nothing else — see the [privacy page](/privacy.md).
