Trade and dealer logistics · West Bromwich B70
Dealer and trade movement in West Bromwich, booked in advance
Repeat movements on account. Stock in from auction, part exchanges out, customer deliveries, and workshop shuttles between sites.
Dealers, traders, garages and bodyshops moving stock between sites, auctions and customers.
Trade movement is a volume relationship, not a transaction. Once we know your sites, your usual auction houses and who signs for what, the admin per job drops to a text message.
Bookings from B70, B71 tend to come from two directions: households near The Hawthorns, and businesses around Great Bridge. Both are planned jobs, so the truck arrives in a window you agreed rather than whenever it can.
Where a customer delivery needs to look right, the car is unloaded clean and presented properly rather than dumped on a kerb.

What moves the price
- Volume
- Regular weekly work prices differently from a single movement, because the diary can be planned around it.
- Route pairing
- A car going out and a car coming back on the same route is close to half the cost of two one way runs.
- Turnaround expectation
- Next day is standard. Same day within the patch is available and priced accordingly.
- Presentation requirement
- Customer facing deliveries take longer at the door than a yard to yard drop.
From West Bromwich the usual runs are local drops within West Midlands, deliveries into Oldbury and Smethwick, and longer routes joining the network at M5 J1. Long runs are quoted per mile with the return leg included, so the figure does not change on delivery day.
Access at the West Bromwich end
Access matters more on a planned job than people expect. Where the collection point is a multi storey or an underground bay, the height barrier decides everything: a flatbed will not follow you in, so we agree a ground level loading point nearby and move the vehicle out to it. Around Great Bridge the yards are usually wide enough to load on site.

West Bromwich transport questions
- Are your invoices itemised by stock number?
- They are. Account invoices list each movement against your own reference so the cost lands against the right car in your system.
- Do you offer trade accounts for West Bromwich dealers?
- Yes. Accounts are set up on a short call covering your sites, contacts and invoicing, and after that a movement is booked by message. The A4041 keeps the truck route simple from our side.
- Can you collect from auction and deliver to my West Bromwich forecourt?
- Regularly. Send the release details and the stock number and we handle the site paperwork at the auction end. We have loaded plenty of vehicles near Great Bridge.
- How quickly can stock be moved?
- Next day is the normal expectation for planned trade work, and same day within the West Bromwich area is often possible when the diary allows.
- Do you provide proof of delivery?
- Yes, photographs and written confirmation to whoever you nominate, usually the same day. That record is what settles a condition dispute later.
