Hampshire & the Solent

Delivery drivers for Southampton operators

Parcel, courier and trade rounds, covered by one desk.

Van work in Southampton is where customers meet your business. We brief every driver on the standard you set at the door.

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

Final-mile demand across Hampshire & the Solent comes from Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers. It peaks hard in the weeks before Christmas.

Van cover across the main types of delivery work.

How it works

Booking a van driver

You send the round

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

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.

Van planning

Setting up delivery cover

Couriers, retailers and delivery networks often need van drivers for a season, a promotion or a new contract. Temporary cover fits that window.

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
  • Whether the vans are electric
  • The typical number of stops
  • Who the drivers report to at the depot
Compliance

Licence and right to work

Right to work, the licence and any endorsements are checked first. Route familiarity is the part we match on.

Peak rounds are long days. We confirm the driver is available for the whole booking before they are put forward.

van FAQs

Good to know

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.

Do you cover depots near Southampton?

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

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.
