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 Plymouth 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.
M5 and A38. Plymouth has no clean air zone, and the Tamar Bridge toll is charged eastbound only, so it applies only if the job continues into Cornwall and back; the ferry port needs a booking for freight sailings.
