General haulage
Anything, anywhere, tracked.
General haulage across Ireland and the UK. Curtainsider, flatbed, low-loader. Palletised, project cargo, machinery, abnormal loads, timed deliveries. One operator, one set of systems.

Most general haulage in Cork is done by smaller operators running five or ten trucks, all doing one type of work. That works fine — until the job changes.
FMC is built differently. The same operator can move palletised freight on a curtainsider Monday, machinery on a low-loader Tuesday, and an abnormal load with permits and escorts on Wednesday — across Ireland and the UK — using the same digital tracking, the same insurance cover, and the same point of contact.
For procurement teams, that means one supplier instead of three. For operations teams, that means one phone number instead of working out which subbie has which job.
A modern, ISO-certified operator covering the trailer mix and geographic range that smaller hauliers can't match — without losing the responsiveness of a single point of contact.
The fleet runs the trailer types most general haulage jobs need — curtainsiders for palletised and bagged freight, flatbeds for steel and project cargo, low-loaders for machinery and plant, plus abnormal-load capability when permits and escorts are required.
Every truck is a current-generation Scania, Volvo, DAF, or Renault. Every cab fitted with Samsara — live GPS tracking, dashcam, and ETA visibility on every load. The same standard our enterprise customers expect, applied to every job we run.
UK runs are routine. Cross-Channel sailings are handled with the same paperwork and tracking discipline as domestic moves. Customers see the load on the map regardless of which side of the water it's on.
If it fits on a curtainsider, flatbed, or low-loader, FMC can move it. Standard freight, awkward freight, regulated freight — handled with the same tracking and the same paperwork.
Curtainsider work — the bread and butter. Manufacturer to distributor, distributor to retailer.
Steel, building product, bagged material, anything that loads from the side or top.
Low-loader trailer for plant hire, dealer movements, site-to-site transfers.
Over-height, over-width, over-length. Permits secured, escorts arranged, routes planned.
One-off industrial moves. Tanks, structural steel, fabrications, components.
Movements feeding container exports or distributing imported freight inland.
The yard sits at Grange, Ovens, on the N22, with quick access to the M8 north and the Cork Port terminals south. Trucks run nationwide on the Republic side and routinely cross to the UK.
Every load tracked live on Samsara — customers see the truck regardless of which side of the water it's on.
If your operation moves a mix of general freight — palletised one week, project cargo the next, an awkward machinery move the week after — keeping three different hauliers on the books costs more than it saves.
FMC is built so one supplier covers the full general-haulage range: curtainsider, flatbed, low-loader, abnormal. One insurance cert. One contact. One tracking system. One invoice.
Smaller hauliers compete on rate per mile. We compete on what your team actually needs to manage.
