About us

Haulo was founded by brothers Ben and James, who began shaping the concept in 2024 after recognising a major gap in the UK haulage industry. With their own family regularly moving loads across the country, they saw first-hand how heavily the sector still relied on manual processes—phone calls, emails and spreadsheets—even among small and medium-sized businesses trying to grow.

The UK's road haulage industry contributes £13.5 billion to the economy each year and is the fifth-largest employer in the country. Of the 6,000 haulage companies operating nationwide, 85% run fleets of 20 vehicles or fewer. Ben and James saw a clear opportunity: empower these businesses—both shippers and drivers—with simple, effective technology that improves efficiency and unlocks growth.

Together, the founders bring more than 30 years of experience building customer-centric platforms and share a deep passion for both technology and the haulage sector. Haulo's first public release is planned for September 2025, with a strong commitment to listening closely to customer feedback and launching new features rapidly.

Haulo's mission is to build a platform that customers genuinely love—one that is intuitive, reduces operational friction, and supports the long-term success of haulage businesses across the UK.
