About

KTL — built from one unit, since 2015.

2015Mateusz (Matt) Kozial starts Kozialtrans as an owner-operator, running container haulage to and from ports across the UK.The very first truck — Scania, 2015
2016–2019Fleet and driver team grow on port and container work; Milton Keynes becomes the operating base.
2020KTL expands into dedicated parcel linehaul operations supporting Amazon's UK network: a 365-day, high-volume, time-critical environment with KPI-driven performance and frequent operational change.
2021Szymon (Simon) Kozial joins the board as co-owner and Transport Manager.
2022–2025First electric tractor units join the fleet. Northern operational capability established through the Durham operation.
Today15 tractor units, licence headroom for 20, and a team of over twenty professional drivers running 365 days a year.

Kozialtrans Ltd (KTL) is a UK road transport operator based in Milton Keynes, with additional Northern operational capability through our Durham operation.

The company was founded in 2015 by Mateusz (Matt) Kozial as an owner-operator on container work out of the UK ports. That grounding — tight port slots, demurrage clocks, no margin for a missed window — is still how we think about a delivery time.

Since 2020 most of our work has been dedicated parcel linehaul supporting Amazon's UK network: a 365-day, high-volume operation with time-critical collection and delivery windows, KPI-driven performance management and frequent short-notice change. That experience shapes how we run everything — planning, driver management, compliance and communication.

We are owner-managed. Decisions are made quickly, and the person you deal with is the person accountable for the operation. We would rather run fewer contracts well, for longer, than chase volume.

Services

What we do for networks.

UK linehaul

Scheduled or ad-hoc tractor-unit movements between hubs, depots and fulfilment centres, day or night, seven days a week. We run to your timetable and report to your KPIs.

Hub-to-hub & depot trunking

Fixed trunks between sortation centres and depots, with consistent drivers who know the sites and the windows.

Dedicated lanes

A fixed unit and driver pool assigned to your lane for a defined term. One point of accountability, consistent equipment, no surprises.

Tractor-unit subcontracting

Units and professional drivers under our Operator Licence. We can operate with customer-provided trailers or source suitable trailer equipment where required by the contract. Driver compliance, maintenance, tachograph management and insurance remain managed by KTL.

Peak-period capacity

Additional units for seasonal peaks, network changes and volume surges. We have run Q4 peak every year for over a decade.

Electric tractor operations

Three electric units in service with practical experience in range planning, charging and scheduling — for operators with decarbonisation and Scope 3 reporting objectives.

Electric operations

Three electric tractor units, on real work.

We run three electric tractor units alongside twelve diesel — DAF CF Electric, Volvo FM Electric and Mercedes-Benz eActros 600. They operate on scheduled trunking and hub work, with range planning, charging and driver allocation designed into the schedule rather than left to the driver.

For operators with decarbonisation and Scope 3 targets, working with a subcontractor who already runs electric on a live network is a faster route than waiting for the supply base to catch up. We are glad to share what we have learned.

EV experience — not a pilot

Our electric tractors operate within live commercial transport schedules. This gives KTL practical experience in route suitability, charging strategy, driver allocation and operational contingency planning — the questions that matter when a network plans its own fleet transition.

Capacity for new contracts

Room to grow with the right partner.

Licence headroom and fleet capacity allow us to mobilise up to five additional tractor units for the right dedicated lane or long-term partnership. We would rather commit that capacity to committed, sustainable partnerships than spread it across low-value spot work.

Talk to us about a lane

Coverage

Strategically positioned for UK linehaul.

Milton Keynes — main operating centre

Minutes from the M1, with direct access to the Midlands, London, the South East and the major distribution corridors of the East Midlands. A unit leaves the yard already where the freight is.

Durham — Northern capability

Northern operational capability and support through our Durham operation — parking, driver facilities and local support — giving coverage across the North East and Northern England without positioning units from the south.

UK nationwide

Linehaul and trunking across England, Scotland and Wales, planned around the drivers' hours and your network timetable.

How we work

What a network can expect from KTL.

Turn up, every day

Rotas planned months ahead, maintenance that never leaves the fleet short, and a plan for the unit that fails at 03:00.

Tell you early

A problem at 22:00 is manageable; the same problem at 04:00 is not. The phone is answered at weekends.

Compliance you never think about

Driver and vehicle compliance managed in-house, with KPI reporting and audit-ready records.

Scale without drama

Licence headroom, a driver pool for peak, and an owner who can make the decision in minutes.

Compliance & assurance

Built to operate. Built to comply.

Compliance is managed as part of the operation, not as an afterthought. Supplier onboarding and due-diligence documentation can be provided to prospective partners where required.

Operator Licence

Standard national Operator Licence authorising 20 tractor units, with the maintenance, driver and record-keeping undertakings that come with it.

Driver compliance

Professional Class 1 (C+E) drivers with Driver CPC and digital tachograph cards. Licence checks, infringement review and drivers' hours managed in-house.

Tachograph management

Regular card and vehicle unit downloads, analysis and infringement follow-up as a routine part of the operation.

Planned maintenance

Fixed PMI inspection intervals, daily walk-round defect reporting and rectification records for every unit on the licence.

Documentation

Insurance certificates, Operator Licence details, maintenance records and driver documentation available for supplier onboarding.

Audit readiness

Records kept in a form that can be presented to a customer audit or a DVSA inspection at short notice.

Drivers & careers

Professional drivers, Milton Keynes.

We employ Class 1 (C+E) drivers on tramping and on 12-hour day and night shifts, running modern MAN, DAF, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz tractor units — including electric — on scheduled linehaul and trunking work, 365 days a year.

We look for drivers who take pride in a clean pre-use check, keep to the window, and treat the customer's site as their own. In return you get consistent work, a planned rota, well-maintained kit and an owner who knows your name.

Partnership & transport enquiries

Let's talk about your network.

We are developing relationships with a small number of logistics operators, parcel networks, retailers and 3PLs where dependable capacity, direct communication and long-term performance matter — long-term linehaul partnerships, dedicated lanes and additional network capacity, including for organisations exploring practical electric HGV deployment.

If that is relevant to you, we would welcome a conversation.
