Get a QuoteWhen something has to leave Shildon now, the call goes to Maine Couriers because there is no queue, no triage, and no waiting for the next pickup window. Our same day service runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and our control room is the same number whether you call at 9 a.m. on a Monday or midnight on Christmas Eve. We will quote a fixed price, allocate a vehicle, and have a driver moving toward Shildon usually within minutes — and once the consignment is on board, it stays in the same vehicle until it reaches the recipient.
Our Shildon dispatch desk allocates the right vehicle the moment the booking comes in. The choice runs from small vans (envelopes, parcels and parts up to about 600 kg), through long wheel base vans (a pallet plus handling room), Luton box vans with tail lift (crated, fragile or oversized), and 7.5 tonne trucks (full loads or multi-drop runs). Every vehicle is GPS tracked, signwritten and presentable. Shildon customers can ask for a specific vehicle class on the call; otherwise we suggest the most cost-effective fit for the consignment.
Every Shildon same day booking comes with the basics done properly: a 60-minute collection target, a dedicated driver who handles the run from start to finish, end-to-end goods-in-transit insurance, live driver tracking, signed proof of delivery, and 24/7/365 phone support. There is no premium tier and no economy tier — every Shildon consignment gets the same standard, and the price quoted at booking includes everything that might otherwise turn up as a surcharge.
