Oldbury — what we see on the ground
Oldbury's industrial layout means a bike job here could be anywhere from Rounds Green to a residential turning near the Titford Canal. Our drivers know which routes take a long-deck truck and which do not — that is the difference between a 40-minute recovery and a two-hour re-route.
