When you're a courier, a breakdown isn't just about the van – it's about the parcels sat in the back with someone waiting on them, and a schedule that doesn't stop just because you have. We try to keep that in mind every time we take a call from a delivery driver stuck at the roadside.
How the service works for you
Protecting the delivery
If your van can't be fixed roadside, we'll talk through options for the load itself, whether that's transferring items to another vehicle or making sure everything travels safely with the van to its next stop.
Getting back on the road
Once the immediate issue is dealt with, we'll help however we can with getting you or a replacement van moving again, so the rest of the round isn't lost entirely.
Support for delivery firms
If you manage a small fleet of delivery vans, we can be the number your drivers call whenever something goes wrong, rather than each driver searching for help independently.
- 24/7 availability for early starts and late finishes
- Careful handling of vans with loads on board
- Recovery to a garage or depot of your choice
- Cover across Birmingham, Sandwell and the Black Country
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Sedgley business units, the parking around Sedgley Beacon, and the residential grid of light industrial units where drivers leave vehicles overnight. The aim is a boring recovery — in, loaded, gone. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. Postcode-level cover: DY3, plus the ring of areas within a few miles.
