UK Hauliers Face Increasing Financial Challenges

The UK road haulage sector is the backbone of British trade - but right now, it’s feeling the strain.

Rising fuel prices, higher interest rates, driver shortages, and increased operating costs have all squeezed margins. Many hauliers are carrying legacy debt from pandemic-era loans, while late payments from customers are putting further pressure on cash flow.

According to industry reports, hundreds of UK transport and logistics businesses entered insolvency last year, with many more struggling to keep up with finance repayments and day-to-day expenses. When clients delay payment or fail to settle invoices for transport, storage, or VAT and duty charges, even a profitable business can face liquidity problems.

At Controlaccount, we work with transport and logistics companies every day - helping them recover what they’re owed quickly, professionally, and without risk.

Recovering Low-Value, High-Volume Accounts - Fast

In the haulage industry, it’s not unusual for unpaid invoices to mount up in small amounts across multiple customers. These “low-value, high-volume” debts can quietly tie up thousands of pounds in lost revenue - money that could be reinvested in vehicles, staff, or fuel.

Our specialist debt recovery team is experienced in handling these accounts efficiently and respectfully, ensuring you maintain customer relationships while getting results. We combine advanced technology with personal communication to achieve high recovery rates without resorting to aggressive tactics.

No Collection, No Fee - No Risk

We understand that margins are tight. That’s why our service is completely performance-based:

✅ No collection, no fee – if we don’t recover your money, you don’t pay a penny.
✅ No setup costs – simple onboarding, no hidden fees.
✅ Flexible acceptance – we’ll take on invoices up to five years old, including written-off debt.

Whether you have a backlog of unpaid transport costs, storage fees, or outstanding VAT and duty invoices, we can help you turn aged debt into recovered revenue.

With rising costs and delayed payments becoming the norm, debt recovery isn’t just about chasing overdue accounts - it’s about protecting the future of your business. Our approach is ethical, efficient, and fully compliant with UK regulations, ensuring your reputation is safeguarded at every stage.
