Trade plate vehicle movements in Middlesbrough and Teesside

Middlesbrough roads: the A19, the A66 and the A174

There is no motorway into Middlesbrough, so the A19 brings most of our drives in, from Newcastle in the north or York in the south. The A66 follows the river to Darlington, the A171 heads to Guisborough and Whitby and the A174 links the southern side of town. A closure on the A19 at the Tees or a match day at the Riverside can slow everything down, so we agree a date with you rather than promise a same day slot.

Linthorpe Road, Parliament Road and the streets around the centre are tight. The compounds at Skippers Lane, Riverside Park and Cargo Fleet need a barrier code and a named manager, and homes in Acklam or Marton need somewhere legal to stop. TS1 and TS6 are very different places, so give us the full postcode.

We cover Stockton on Tees, Thornaby, Billingham, Redcar, Guisborough and Yarm. A Skippers Lane to Linthorpe hop is one job, and so is Middlesbrough to Glasgow. Middlesbrough station gives our driver a way home after a one way delivery, with James Cook and Thornaby as other stops we plan around.

Auction collections from Wilsons Birtley, Manheim Washington and BCA Newcastle

There is no auction site on Teesside, so Middlesbrough buyers usually collect from Wilsons Auctions Birtley, Manheim Washington on Wearside or BCA Newcastle upon Tyne at Killingworth, each a run up the A19 once the lot is released.

We confirm release before a driver is sent, so nobody waits at a closed gate. Read about auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot be driven on trade plates.

If your postcode is TS14, see trade plate vehicle movements in Guisborough. For Tyneside jobs, visit trade plate vehicle movements in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Dealer moves and fleet vans from Skippers Lane and Riverside Park

A Middlesbrough independent sending a car to a group site in Newcastle or Leeds is our most common Teesside booking, along with part exchanges heading to Wilsons Birtley once they are legal to drive. Fleet vans from Skippers Lane, Riverside Park and the TS3 units need a valid MOT before we can take them.

Delivering to a customer in Acklam is a different job from moving stock out of a locked unit, so tell us which it is. Find out how we handle site transfers and retail handovers, and give us a named contact at both ends.

Moving one vehicle at a time means your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck on the A19.

Keeping Middlesbrough, Thornaby and Stockton bookings straight

Closures on the A19 at the Tees, traffic on the A66 and a Thornaby address booked as Middlesbrough cause most delays. Put the TS district, any barrier code and a contact on the booking, tell us whether the car is at Manheim Washington or a house in Acklam, and pick a date you can keep.

A short hop from Linthorpe to Cargo Fleet gets the same record as a long run. Condition and photos are taken at collection, the receiver signs on delivery and both proofs come to you in one report by email.
