Bloody hell, glad I put that up.
So I’m wondering
Coming from London Gateway(port)
M6 leave at gate 14, head for Stone (a34) take A 51 then pick up A53 for Mkt Drayton, then A41 north from Tern Hill island.
M54 leave at gate 4, pick A442, follow through to Hodnet, pick up A53 to Tern hill, then north on the 41.
I will heavy 40+ ton, so what is the better road 
.
Personally I’d stay on to J15, over the M6, last exit off next r’bout; then up to t’lights and take the right turn past eddie stobart, back over the M6 again. This puts you on the Trentham Rd to Loggerheads via the A53. You follow that all the way past Market Drayton, pick up the A41 at Tern Hill Island.
Easy.
Ok, that looks good, never been though there, ok for 14’6" 
never been along the 53 at all, as far back as I can remember. Once used that 525, and was heavy and wont repeat through choice 
If I recall, no height restrictions at all along that route. The run from Baldwins gate to where you cross the A51 can be a bit tight; and a few hills, but nothing scary.

How did you do!? 
Yeah it was fine, no problems, and didn’t really appear to take much time at all from the gate 15 to whitchurch . Though it was more fun on the empty run back to the M6
It was a pleasant change to get on a road I’d never used before, normally straight up and down the 41 for Whitchurch and Wrexham ind est.
No surprise that the Midway truckstop was near on empty, only 3 trucks parked there, they must be losing a shed load of cash 
Thanks for the advise el_presidente , and that from xichrisxi too
