When Your Dangerous Goods Can't Wait Until Tomorrow

DG Express provides same-day dangerous goods courier services across the UK. Every job is handled by ADR-trained drivers operating dedicated vehicles with full DGSA oversight — no shared loads, no unnecessary stops, no compromises on compliance.

Don't risk a non-compliant carrier
When time pressure hits, it's tempting to use any available courier. But moving dangerous goods without ADR compliance exposes your business to fines of up to £5,000 per offence, shipment seizure, and criminal liability under CDG 2009.
DGX gets your goods there today — without cutting corners on the law.
