Trade plate vehicle movements in Market Drayton, north Shropshire

Market Drayton roads: the A53, the A41 and the A529

The A53 carries most of the trade through Market Drayton, east to Newcastle under Lyme and south west to Shrewsbury. The A41 is the road for Whitchurch and Wolverhampton, and the A529 heads down to Hinstock. None of them is a motorway, so the last part of a long run is always on Shropshire A roads and we agree a sensible date rather than promise a same day slot.

Cheshire Street and the town centre get tight on market day, the compounds on the Maer Lane industrial land usually have a barrier and homes towards Little Drayton or Loggerheads are different final stretches. A full postcode gets the driver to the right door first time.

We cover Loggerheads, Hinstock, Whitchurch, Newport in Shropshire, Nantwich and Telford too. A Loggerheads to Market Drayton hop is one job, and so is Market Drayton to Glasgow.

No station in Market Drayton, so the driver's return is planned in

Market Drayton has no passenger railway, so after a one way delivery our driver heads home from Whitchurch, Nantwich or Stafford. We build that road hop into the job from the start, so your delivery date is one we can keep.

Auction collections from BCA Whitchurch, Wilsons Telford and CCA Stafford

BCA Whitchurch is the auction most Market Drayton buyers mean, a short run up the A41 or the A53. Wilsons Auctions Telford lies to the south, Central Car Auctions Stafford to the east and BCA Walsall further afield.

Being close is no reason to send a driver to wait at the gate. We confirm release with the auction first, then collect. Read about auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot be driven on trade plates.

Dealer moves and fleet vans from Maer Lane

A north Shropshire independent sending a car to a group site in Telford or Stoke is our most common Market Drayton job, along with part exchanges heading to Whitchurch once they are legal to drive. Fleet vans from Maer Lane need a valid MOT before we can take them.

If a customer in Little Drayton is expecting their car, our driver brings it to the door. Find out how we handle site transfers and retail handovers, and give us a named contact at each end.

Closures on the A53, queues on the A41 towards Whitchurch and a Loggerheads address booked as Market Drayton cause most delays. Tell us exactly where the vehicle is and pick a date you can keep.

Booking a TF9 vehicle movement with OVM

The vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with working keys and a valid MOT where one is required. Our trade plates and motor trade road risk insurance cover it from collection until it is signed for, and you receive proof of collection and proof of delivery together in one report by email.
