Haulage
A supply chain term used to plan, procure, move, store or track materials and equipment.
Haulage Explained
Haulage is a key term within supply chain & logistics, where it is used across construction, infrastructure, transport and industrial project delivery. In practical terms, it helps describe how work is planned, specified, delivered, measured or maintained on real sites and assets. Understanding haulage is useful because the same language is often shared by contractors, designers, suppliers, asset owners, public authorities and investors.
Within Highways.Today’s Dictionary, haulage should be read as part of the wider vocabulary of procurement, transport, freight, storage and delivery terms across infrastructure supply chains. It may appear in technical specifications, tender documents, project reports, equipment guides, safety plans, design models, maintenance schedules or news articles. Exact requirements can vary by country, project type, contract form, standard and manufacturer, so readers should always check the relevant local guidance, drawings, regulations and professional advice before relying on the term for design, procurement or operational decisions.
