Danny Tandy, 53, of Swinburn Place, Rotherham, was stopped on the A5 at Nesscliffe in January last year, with up to £4,000 worth of the Class B drug in a van.
Phone and bank records showed he had made numerous visits to an address in Blenheim Close, Oswestry.
He admitted the charge of supplying cannabis, and was given eight months in prison, suspended for 18 months by Judge Anthony Lowe at Shrewsbury Crown Court on Wednesday.
Phillip Beardwell, prosecuting, told the court how police had been given intelligence that a drugs drop was taking place at an address in Oswestry, from a Mercedes van.
