Loaded van in New Oscott: local recovery from 10 miles away
If loaded van has stopped you in B73, the practical questions are how far the vehicle has to travel, where it is going, and what it is standing on. From New Oscott that is typically a short run inside West Midlands. Because Mere Green is next door, a job in New Oscott often pairs with one there on the same shift. Because New Oscott is only 10 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay. Second road option if A453 Jockey Road is blocked: A38. That approach is why New Oscott repeat callers ask for the same driver.

What is actually going on
Where the van goes from here
We can recover your van to your regular garage, a fleet maintenance provider, your business premises, or your home — whatever makes most sense given the load and your plans for the rest of the day.
Keeping your load secure
Once your van is loaded onto our recovery vehicle, we make sure the contents inside remain secure for the journey — this is worth flagging to us if you've got particularly heavy, valuable, or awkwardly shaped equipment on board, so we can plan appropriately.
If you need access to your tools before recovery
If you need to grab specific tools or stock before the van's recovered — for instance if you're heading to a job with a different vehicle — let us know and we'll work around this where it's safe and practical to do so before loading.
- Flag any particularly heavy or valuable items on board when you call
- Let us know if you need access to specific items before we load the van
- Consider whether stock needs temperature control or careful handling
- We can take the van to your workshop, home, or a garage as needed
Getting a truck to you in New Oscott
Trade callers here tend to be based at Jockey Road parades; private callers are usually on local shopping parades. Where the vehicle sits on private land rather than a live road, the legal position and the price both change. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Overnight, most work here is on local shopping parades rather than main roads.

- Homeowners and tenants: recovery to a local garage or your driveway
- Landlords and letting agents: vehicles blocking access at managed properties
- Fleet and courier operators: same-shift turnaround where possible
- Dealers and bodyshops around Mere Green: stock movements

New Oscott questions
Will my tools and stock be safe during recovery in New Oscott?
Yes, we take care to secure the load for the journey, and it helps if you flag anything particularly heavy or valuable when you call.
Can you get a transporter into Jockey Road parades?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Jockey Road parades have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
What does loaded van cost in New Oscott?
We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 10 miles from base, New Oscott is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.
Is New Oscott closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 10 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 6 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
Can I take some of my tools out before you recover the van in New Oscott?
Yes, if it's safe and practical, let us know in advance and we'll work around getting you what you need before loading.
Do you charge differently for a loaded van versus an empty one in New Oscott?
Get in touch with the details of your situation and we'll talk you through it — the main thing is making sure your load and the van are both handled properly.
