Keep delivery vans moving across Cumbria with temporary multi-drop drivers.
Parcel, courier and trade rounds, covered by one desk.
Across Cumbria, courier and same-day work arrives at short notice. We give a straight answer on what we can cover the same day.
Christmas, Black Friday and seasonal sales push van volume across Cumbria. Temporary drivers take the extra rounds.
Across Cumbria, trunk flows arrive via the M6 and A66, the West Coast Main Line and the port of Workington; van rounds take the parcels from there to the customer's door.
Where temporary van drivers help most.
We look for drivers who have run multi-drop at a similar pace.
The licence, endorsements and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
If volume stays high, tell us and we plan more days.
Peak van cover is best booked weeks ahead. Late requests still get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Same-day and courier work is less predictable than a fixed round. It suits drivers who are comfortable with changing jobs and longer distances.
For a van driver request, include:
Every van driver we confirm holds a full category B licence, with endorsements reviewed and right to work established before the first shift.
Before a van driver accepts, they know the vehicle, the round, the stop count and the cut-off for the last drop.
Share the dates and the volume. We will be straight about what we can cover.
A category B licence covers vehicles up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass for petrol and diesel. We check the licence and review endorsements before a driver starts. Heavier petrol or diesel vans go to drivers with C1 entitlement.

Yes. Same-day requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm. Tell us the collection point, the destination and the time the job must land.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Peak is best booked weeks ahead, when there is the widest choice of drivers.
Yes. Tell us the vans are electric and how charging works on the round so we match a driver who has driven one. Range planning and charging stops change how a day is paced.
