Vehicle Transport in Staffordshire
Staffordshire stretches from the West Midlands border up to the Peak District and Cheshire. The M6 runs right through it — junctions 10 through 16 serve the entire county. From the Potteries in the north (Stoke-on-Trent's six towns) to the cathedral city of Lichfield in the south, from the brewing town of Burton to the county town of Stafford itself. At 180-200 miles from Devon, Staffordshire straddles the boundary between a long same-day run and a two-day job.
M6 Corridor Efficiency
The M6 from Birmingham through Staffordshire is a straightforward run. We use junctions 10 (Walsall/Wolverhampton) through 16 (Stoke/Crewe) to access the entire county.
The Potteries Coverage
Stoke-on-Trent is a federation of six towns — Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Longton, Fenton, and Stoke-upon-Trent. Each has its own character and road layout. We know them all.
Stafford Town Access
Stafford sits at the M6 junction 14 — one of the most accessible county towns in England. Direct motorway access makes collections here quick and efficient.
Lichfield City Collections
Lichfield's compact city centre, dominated by the three-spired cathedral, is one of the prettier collection points in the Midlands. Good road access and a straightforward layout.
Burton & The Brewing Towns
Burton upon Trent's brewing heritage means a mix of industrial and residential collections. The A38 gives good access from the south.
Moorlands & Peak Fringe
The Staffordshire Moorlands around Leek and the Peak District border require care in winter. The roads are high, winding, and sometimes snow-affected. We plan accordingly.

Can you collect from the Potteries?
Yes — all six towns of Stoke-on-Trent plus Newcastle-under-Lyme. The area's dense urban layout requires local knowledge, which our drivers have.
Is Stoke-on-Trent a same-day run?
It's on the boundary. An early start from Devon can get you to Stoke by mid-morning. It's a long day — about 7 hours driving round trip — but doable. We recommend two days for driver comfort.
