Temporary van, multi-drop and delivery drivers for parcel rounds, courier work and e-commerce deliveries in Saltash.

Devon & Cornwall

Keeping Saltash deliveries on time

Van cover starts with the round, then the driver.

Final-mile rounds from Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates often start early and finish when the last parcel is delivered. We book drivers who expect that pattern.

Trade and wholesale runs have fewer stops and heavier goods than parcel rounds. We match the driver accordingly.

Across Devon & Cornwall, trunk flows arrive via the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth; 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.

Same-day requests

Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.

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.

Multi-drop van work is judged at the door: the right parcel, a photo or signature and a customer who is happy to see the driver again.

For a van driver request, include:

  • Whether the vans are electric
  • The delivery area and any tricky access
  • The start time and the cut-off for the last drop
  • How many drivers and for how many days
Compliance

Before the first drop

For larger vehicles we check the licence category matches the gross weight. A petrol or diesel van over 3,500kg needs C1 entitlement, not a car licence.

A good van driver is quick without cutting corners: parcels delivered to the right door, photos taken and the van returned in good order.

One request can cover a single day or a whole peak season.

van FAQs

Your van driver questions

What licence does a van driver need?

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.

Do you supply multi-drop drivers?

Yes. Tell us the stop count and the area so we match drivers used to that pace. Residential, rural and business rounds each suit a slightly different driver.

Can you supply drivers for same-day courier work?

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.

Do you cover depots near Saltash?

Yes. We book van drivers for depots across the South West. 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.
