Checking a transport company in Manchester

  1. Look the company up at Companies House or below: does the company number match the invoice and the CMR?
  2. Call the company on a number you look up yourself, not the one in the email or on the freight exchange.
  3. Compare the email domain letter by letter with the real website, and the bank account with the company's country.
  4. With a new haulier, ask for the driver's name and registration in advance and check them at loading.
