The rankings were finalised on Thursday 31 October 2013. The data was compiled from audited financial accounts filed at Companies House during the 16 months since the last Top 100 was compiled in July 2012, unless otherwise stated. The tables list the company in regards to its official registered company name at Companies House, which is not always the same as the company's trading name. MT has compiled the tables using the turnover and pre-tax profit figures generated solely or primarily from the UK road transport activities on the businesses concerned, unless otherwise stated below. Where possible, we have tried to avoid including turnover from non-road and non-transport related business. Figures shown for employees are predominantly for those employed solely or principally in the UK.

Bartrums' results have been calculated by combining the turnover and pre-tax profit of Bartrums Haulage & Storage and Bartrums Road Services, as Bartrum Group results include a contribution from its CV maintenance business, Trumbar Truck Care.

DHL is consolidating its business so that DHL Supply Chain is the main UK trading entity. As a result, contracts formerly reported by Exel UK and DHL Freight and Contract Logistics are being moved as they are renewed. The turnover in these businesses has been included, as has its contribution from Tradeteam and DHL International (UK), which trades as DHL Express. Since DHL International (UK) numbers were filed, it has sold its same-day domestic business to technology distributor Rico Logistics. This will be reflected in next year's Top 100.

DX Group's accounts for the year ended 30 June 2012 incorporate 15 weeks of trading activity at Nightfreight. Combined turnover was £206.6m (£169m from DX and £37.5m from Nightfreight). Next year's Top 100 will take into account a full year of Nightfreight trading.

John G Russell's results include its chest freezer manufacturing business, which accounted for £10.1m of its £58.8m turnover. As it does not provide a pre-tax profit figure for this business we have been unable to extract it from the overall group results.

Kammac has filed two sets of accounts since MT last published the Top 100. Its turnover fell by £4m from 2011 to 2012 due to the completion of a one-off contract in Ireland. Excluding this contribution, turnover remained constant at £27m.

Montgomery parent Ballyvesey Holdings acquired Birds Transport in February 2013 and will be included in next year's Top 100 as no 2012 accounts had been filed at Companies House as MT went to press.

Norbert Dentressangle does not publish results for its operations in the UK as a whole, so the figures have been generated by combining the turnover and pre-tax profit from: Norbert Dentressangle Logistics; Norbert Dentressangle Tankers; Norbert Dentressangle Transport Services and Norbert Dentressangle UK.

Pass J Holdings results include contributions from its two subsidiaries: On-Line Staff Agency and Germany-based Online Roadways. There is no way of extracting their contributions from the overall results, however, it does report that UK-derived turnover was £19.4m for its financial year ended 31 January 2013.
