Van cover for Shrewsbury

Temporary delivery drivers who have run multi-drop before.

Parcel and e-commerce volume across the West Midlands peaks hard. Temporary van drivers add rounds when the regular team is already full.

Panel van, long wheelbase, Luton or electric: tell us the vehicle and we match a driver who has driven it.

Final-mile demand across the West Midlands comes from automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. It peaks hard in the weeks before Christmas.

How it works

How a van booking works

We match the driver

We look for drivers who have run multi-drop at a similar pace.

We check the licence

The licence, endorsements and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

Peak booked in advance

Seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Van planning

Before you book delivery drivers

A booking can be a single day of cover or an entire peak season. The request is the same.

Trade and wholesale runs have fewer stops and heavier goods. The driver needs to handle the load safely as well as keep to the schedule.

For a van driver request, include:

  • Where the vans are based
  • The van size: small, panel, long wheelbase or Luton
  • The typical number of stops
  • The delivery area and any tricky access
Compliance

What every van driver we supply holds

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.

We ask van drivers which rounds, vans and scanners they have used, then match the work to that experience.

van FAQs

Van drivers in Shrewsbury — FAQs

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.

Can you cover peak season?

Yes. Peak is one of the most common reasons operators book temporary van drivers. Tell us the dates and volumes early so the extra rounds are staffed before the rush.

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 also recruit permanent delivery drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire. Temporary cover can run alongside the search.

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.
