Plymouth's transport links — A38 dual carriageway north-east to Exeter and M5, A374 to Saltash and Cornwall. Plymouth 210min to London Paddington.

Local knowledge for Plymouth collections: Plymouth's naval dockyard at Devonport — the largest in Western Europe — generates specialist courier demand for engineering parts and classified documents. The Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry are the only cross-river links to Cornwall, and both suffer congestion during rush hour. Hauly drivers use the A38 Plympton bypass to avoid city centre delays when heading east toward Exeter.
The estimated fuel cost for this route is £50 (diesel van at ~30mpg, £1.55/L), and the journey produces approximately 87 kg of CO₂. Because Hauly uses dedicated vehicles — your item is the only delivery in the van — there are no extra miles from depot detours or multi-drop routes, making this a more efficient option than parcel networks for same-day delivery.
