A long drive first: how same-day works for Blackburn
Nothing sets out from Blackburn itself: the Transit starts each day in Bradford and needs 60 to 80 minutes to cross the moors to Colne and run down the M65 into town. That drive is built into every same-day booking, so the sooner you ring, the likelier it is that a gap can be found.
Same-day suits jobs that need space more than speed: a sofa from Whitebirk that has to be in before the weekend, a load of boxes from Whitebirk Industrial Estate to Witton Business Park, or a parcel of stock too large for a car. One driver loads, drives and unloads. The van carries up to 3.4m in length, so long items such as worktops or flat-pack runs fit inside.
What to have ready for a same-day Blackburn job
- The postcode and a phone number for whoever is at each address
- A photo or rough measurements, so the driver knows the load before leaving Bradford
- A note on where the van can pull in, since centre permit bays are enforced in the daytime
- The order or collection reference for anything coming from a shop or trade counter
- A person at each end to hand the goods over and take them in
