Road haulage

Road haulage across Nigeria

Getting goods out of the port is only half the job. We arrange the right truck and move them to your shop, warehouse or site, in Lagos or any other state.

The right truck for the load

Tell us what you're moving and where it's going. We match the vehicle to the cargo so you're not paying for space you don't need.

Vans and small trucks

Cartons, parcels and part loads, mostly within Lagos.

10-tonne trucks

Palletised goods and loose cargo, including longer interstate trips.

20ft and 40ft container trucks

Containers taken straight from the terminal to your premises, with the empty returned afterwards.

Typical journey times

Approximate driving times on the main routes out of Lagos.

Driving time only. Port exit, loading, traffic and road conditions can add a day or more, and Lagos traffic is a story of its own. We give you a realistic delivery date when we book.

How we keep your goods moving

Most delays happen in the gaps: the truck that wasn't booked, the driver nobody can reach. We plan around those.

  • The truck is booked before your goods are released, so nothing sits waiting at the terminal
  • You get WhatsApp updates when the cargo is loaded, on the road and delivered
  • Loads are checked and secured before the truck leaves
  • We confirm delivery with you once the goods are handed over
FAQ

Road haulage questions

Anything else? Ask us on WhatsApp.

How long does it take to move goods from Lagos to Abuja?

The drive itself is usually 8 to 12 hours. Allow extra time for loading, leaving the port and road conditions. Most loads arrive the next day.

Can you take a container straight to my warehouse?

Yes. A container truck collects it from the terminal, delivers it to your premises for unloading, then returns the empty container to the shipping line.

Do you move small loads?

Yes. For cartons and part loads we use vans or small trucks instead of a full-size truck, so you're not paying for empty space.

Do you only move goods you imported with Doubleway?

No. You can book road haulage on its own, whether the goods came through us or are already in Nigeria.
