Kettering sits right on the A14, the main east-west freight artery that carries goods between the M1, the M6 and the port of Felixstowe. That location has made the town a magnet for distribution, with big logistics operations around the Kettering Business Park and the Telford Way and Pytchley Lodge industrial estates. We run up the A43 and A14 to Kettering regularly, handling everything from single pallets to heavy abnormal loads.
What we move in and out of Kettering
Because the A14 puts Felixstowe within an easy run, container haulage is a core service here, alongside full and part loads for the town’s distribution and manufacturing base. We also carry out plant transport for local contractors and hiab deliveries for builders’ merchants and sites that need materials placed precisely without a forklift.

Road links and abnormal load routing
The A14 runs along the south of Kettering, linking west to the M1 at Catthorpe and east to Thrapston, Huntingdon and the coast. The A6 connects the town north to Market Harborough and south to Rushden, while the A43 heads south-west to Northampton and north to Corby. With dual carriageways on most approaches, Kettering is one of the easier county towns for oversized loads, though we still plan around junction layouts and any height or width limits and arrange escorts where needed.
