Highlands & Islands

Keeping Lochgilphead deliveries on time

Multi-drop is a skill: route sense, pace and good manners at the door.

Across the Highlands & Islands, 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 the Highlands & Islands. Temporary drivers take the extra rounds.

Across the Highlands & Islands, trunk flows arrive via the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles; van rounds take the parcels from there to the customer's door.

Van & Multi-Drop

Rounds we staff

Delivery work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Three steps to cover

You send the round

Vehicle, stop count, area and start date. A short form or call is enough.

The driver is briefed

The vehicle, the round, the scanner or app and who to report to.

Peak booked in advance

Seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Van planning

Setting up delivery cover

Drivers who have used a delivery app or scanner before start faster, so we ask which system the round runs on.

Medical, pharmacy and high-value deliveries carry extra care over handling and signatures. The brief sets out exactly what the round requires.

For a van driver request, include:

  • The van size: small, panel, long wheelbase or Luton
  • The typical number of stops
  • The delivery area and any tricky access
  • How many drivers and for how many days
Compliance

Before the first drop

Category B covers vehicles up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass for petrol and diesel. We check the licence itself and review endorsements.

Before a van driver accepts, they know the vehicle, the round, the stop count and the cut-off for the last drop.

van FAQs

Your van driver questions

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Peak is best booked weeks ahead, when there is the widest choice of drivers.

Do you cover depots near Lochgilphead?

Yes. We book van drivers for depots across Scotland. Tell us where the vans are based and when loading starts.

Can you supply several van drivers at once?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and when each one starts. A depot adding rounds for peak can build numbers up week by week.

Do you supply drivers for electric vans?

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.

Can drivers use our delivery app or scanner?

Yes. Tell us which system the round uses. We look for drivers who already know it, which saves time on the first shift.
