Established as a partnership, operating one
vehicle in 1963 and grew steadily, through incorporation in 1991, to the
current level of operation.
The Company has it’s origins in the West
Cumbrian village of Mockerkin, near Cockermouth on the edge of the Lake
District National Park. Mockerkin Tarn, a small lake, created the
basis for the individual “Tarnside” name carried by each company
vehicle.
During the growth period of the company, four
other local transport businesses were acquired and integrated into the
operation.
The present site, on the A595, between
Workington and Whitehaven was acquired in 1979, when the business had
outgrown the Mockerkin base, and expansion had become restricted.
2 acres of concreted parking area, and the
warehousing capacity has been increased by the erection of two
additional ambient stores.
Regular long-distance transport services are

deliveries form a significant part of the daily traffic schedules.
Our modern fleet with an average age of 3
years comprises a wide range of vehicles with carrying capacities
ranging from 1 tonne to 29 tonnes. All vehicles are equipped with in cab
communications & tracking equipment to enable us to provide
customers with real time information on the status of all deliveries.
