How this route works
Book online or by phone, any hour of the day. A driver from our Smethwick base collects within 30 to 60 minutes, loads with the tail-lift, and drives straight to Glasgow with no depot stops and no other customers' goods on board. You get a photo and a signed proof of delivery as soon as the goods are off the van.
M6, A74(M) and M74. Scotland is on the same dedicated basis, with the driver going straight through. Glasgow's low emission zone bans non-compliant vehicles from the city centre with a penalty rather than a daily charge, so we only send compliant vans inside it; there are no tolls on the M6, A74(M) or M74.
Where we deliver in Glasgow

Questions about this route
How long does a dedicated delivery from Birmingham to Glasgow take?
About 5 hours driving once the van is loaded, around 290 road miles. We collect within 30 to 60 minutes of booking, so a same-day delivery is normal.
Is Glasgow a same-day delivery from Birmingham?
Yes, with an early collection. It is about five hours each way, so a van collected by 9am is in Glasgow mid-afternoon. Later bookings are delivered first thing next morning.
Can you deliver to the SEC and the Hydro for events?
Yes. We need the organiser's delivery schedule, the hall and stand number and the loading dock allocation, and the driver follows the marshals on site.
Can you collect in Glasgow and deliver to Birmingham?
Yes. Glasgow is a long dedicated run, so we look for a Scottish collection for the Midlands or the North West to bring the van back loaded.
