- [Home](https://ovmtransport.com/) - [Vehicle movements](https://ovmtransport.com/vehicle-movements) - Dover Vehicle movements / Dover # Trade Plate Vehicle Movements in Dover Dover sits on the Kent coast. CT16 and CT17 across the town. The A2 and A20 are the London roads. The M2 and M20 feed them from the west. From the Glasgow office the run is M74, M6, M1, M25, then M2 or M20. OVM quotes one driven movement. There is no Dover office. A ferry port on the Channel is still a nationwide postcode, not a Folkestone page we reused. OVM Ltd, Companies House SC834621. Digital proof of collection and delivery provided. 0141 459 1302. Registration and both postcodes. If collection is a compound, name it. Dover is a postcode pair, not a depot. ## Maidstone and Crawley, not a Dover compound Nearest honest houses: BCA Crawley, BCA Camberley, Wilsons Auctions Maidstone and Central Car Auctions Lingfield. There is no Dover auction on the live sitemap. We will not invent one on the Eastern Docks and we will not treat a ferry check-in as release. Release is confirmed with Crawley, or Camberley, or Maidstone, or Lingfield, before a driver is sent onto the A2. The A20 does not open a Maidstone gate. [auction collection after release](https://ovmtransport.com/auction-collection). Salvage off plates. Folkestone, Canterbury and Ashford sit nearby on their own live pages when those are the real ends. Do not paste a Channel port pin onto a Maidstone booking. ## Whitfield is not the Seafront Independents around Dover still move stock toward Canterbury, Ashford and the rest of the country without waiting for a truck to fill a deck between the docks and the Castle. Fleet vans come off Whitfield, the CT16 industrial strips and the units toward Guston. They still need a valid MOT. A retail handover on a terrace off London Road is a person at a door, not a trailer on Marine Parade. Dover is not Deal and it is not Folkestone. A booking that says Dover and is actually in Whitfield, or actually in River, needs the place. CT16 and CT17 are not interchangeable pins. Biggin Street, Cannon Street and the streets around the Market Square are tight. A yard toward Whitfield is a barrier and a named manager. A customer toward Buckland or Tower Hamlets needs a legal stop. Do not send a Whitfield collection to the Seafront first. Do not send a River job to CT17 centre because both sit under a Dover invoice. The A2 from Canterbury, or the A20 from Folkestone, is how a nationwide job actually reaches the town. The A256 is Deal. The A258 is the Sandwich road. None of those is a same day promise. A closed A20 at the docks and a ferry queue spilling onto Townwall Street are Kent facts. Neighbouring places: Whitfield, Deal, Folkestone, Canterbury, Sandwich, Ashford. Collection at Whitfield and delivery in Buckland is one job. Collection in Dover and delivery in Glasgow is nationwide. ## Dover Priory is the return Dover Priory is the mainline stop. Martin Mill and Kearsney are different halts on the branch. We plan which real station is useful after a one way delivery. We do not send a driver to the Eastern Docks and call it Priory. ## What a Kent coast dealer books A Dover independent moving a car to a Canterbury or Ashford group roof. A part exchange going to Wilsons Auctions Maidstone once it is legal. A customer on London Road who was promised a driver. A fleet van from Whitfield. A River collection written as Dover. A Deal collection with a CT16 title and no street. Site transfer versus customer door: [site transfers and retail handovers](https://ovmtransport.com/dealer-delivery). Named contacts. A locked unit toward Guston and a gated house toward the Castle are not the same product, even though both use plates. ## On the day A20 ferry spillback, an A2 delay through Lydden and a Whitfield collection written as CT17 are the usual failures. If the car is at Wilsons Auctions Maidstone, they should not be sent to Marine Parade first. If it is a house toward Buckland, they should not be sent to Whitfield. Put the estate name, the barrier code and the person on the quote. Do not copy a Folkestone am onto a CT16 booking. Photographs still happen on a River to Tower Hamlets hop. Channel miles are not a paperwork holiday. Maidstone will not hold a car because Townwall Street was closed. ## MOT and the proof Valid MOT. It has to drive. Light vans yes. HGVs no. Plates do not mint a test in Dover. If it is not legal for the road, stop. Photographs and mileage first. Signature at handover. Digital proof when the job closes.
