Couriers along the A4037 corridor in Tividale
Tividale businesses inside B69/DY4 get a named contact, agreed rates and 24-hour cover. Self-employed couriers, delivery drivers and small delivery firms with time-sensitive drops. Everything runs off our own trucks on the Sandwell MBC rota. Locals give directions by the Dudley No.1 Canal; we plan by A4037 and the postcode B69. Insurance work from Tividale gets a written condition record before the straps go on. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike. Trade sites we visit most: Tividale business park and Powke Lane industrial estate.

Whether you're running a single van or coordinating a small team of drivers, our aim is the same: get to you quickly, be honest about timings, and help you make a sensible decision about the load as well as the vehicle.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Tividale business park, the parking around the Dudley No.1 Canal, and the residential grid of canal-side warehousing where drivers leave vehicles overnight. Vehicles collected near Tividale Quays are usually loaded from the offside because of the camber. Where the vehicle sits on private land rather than a live road, the legal position and the price both change. If you are unsure of the postcode, B69 plus a landmark such as Tividale Quays is enough. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up.

How the service works for you
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.
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.
Working around delivery windows
We know some drops are time-critical. We won't pretend we can always beat the clock, but we'll be upfront with you about realistic timings so you can update your customers or depot as needed.

Yes, we're available 24/7, which fits with typical courier working hours.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B69?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Tividale on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.

B69/DY4 directly, plus the surrounding Dudley, Dudley Port, Rowley Regis. It all sits inside the Sandwell MBC operating area we work daily, so there is no out-of-area surcharge.

Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and Sandwell, roughly within 30 miles of Oldbury, with UK-wide transport available if needed.
Will you help with the parcels as well as the van in Tividale?
We'll talk through practical options with you, though moving the parcels themselves is usually down to you or your depot to arrange.
The practical bit
This page is for people who need couriers specifically in Tividale — not a generic Birmingham page. Access, parking and the right route in from M5 J2 all change the job, and that is what we price on. We treat B69/DY4 as a single working patch rather than a scatter of jobs. Storage, if it is needed, stays inside West Midlands rather than being shipped out of area. At school-run and shift-change times the A4037 corridor backs up, which changes the ETA more than mileage does. One rota covers Tividale, Dudley, Dudley Port, Rowley Regis and the rest of the Sandwell MBC area.
