Delivery breakdown · Curdworth B76
Delivery breakdown across Curdworth and B76 — roadside or recovery
This page covers delivery breakdown specifically for drivers and businesses in Curdworth, under North Warwickshire Borough Council. The general advice is the same everywhere; the practical bit — where we can set a truck down, which route in works, what the job costs from here — is not. Because Minworth is next door, a job in Curdworth often pairs with one there on the same shift. Deliveries usually go to a garage in Curdworth or across to Minworth, whichever you nominate. Typical drop points from here: garages in B76, storage in Warwickshire, or Minworth. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves.

A courier or delivery van breaking down mid-round brings its own pressure — deliveries waiting, customers expecting parcels, and a schedule that doesn't really allow for a long wait at the roadside. Getting moved along quickly matters more than usual in this situation.
Curdworth in practical terms
Curdworth sits under North Warwickshire Borough Council with B76 covering most of the built-up area. The nearest motorway access is M42 J9, and the arterial route through is A446. Practically, that means our driver reaches you without crossing the city centre.
Common causes we see
Dealing with parcels and deliveries on board
Depending on your situation, you might need to contact your depot or a colleague to arrange a transfer of undelivered parcels, particularly if the van is going to be off the road for a while. We can accommodate a short wait if you're arranging this, or recover the van with the load still secured if that's simpler.
If the van needs recovering, not fixing
If the fault is bigger than a roadside fix, we'll recover the van and can take it to your depot, your regular garage, or your home, depending on what makes most sense for getting your round covered and the van repaired.
Self-employed and single-van operators
If you're running your round solo without a backup vehicle, a breakdown can affect the whole day's earnings, not just today's deliveries. While we can't control how quickly a repair happens, we'll do what we can to minimise the time you're off the road for the recovery side of things.
Getting a truck to you in Curdworth
That is how a Curdworth job stays a one-truck job. 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, B76 plus a landmark such as Curdworth Locks is enough. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck.

Curdworth questions
How quickly can you reach Curdworth?
We are based in Oldbury, about 15 miles away, and come in via M42 J9 then A446. Outside peak hours that is a short run; at rush hour add time for the A446 corridor. The dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call rather than a standard promise.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B76?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Curdworth on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
Which postcodes around Curdworth do you cover?
B76 directly, plus the surrounding Minworth, Coleshill, Sutton Coldfield. It all sits inside the North Warwickshire Borough Council operating area we work daily, so there is no out-of-area surcharge.

Yes, we can recover to your depot, your usual garage, your home, or anywhere else that works for your situation.
What if I'm self-employed and don't have a backup van in Curdworth?
We understand the pressure this puts on your day and will aim to get things moving as promptly as possible on the recovery side.
Can you help me transfer parcels to another vehicle before recovery in Curdworth?
Yes, if you need a short amount of time to arrange this with your depot or a colleague, let us know and we'll work around it.
