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

North East

Keeping Sunderland deliveries on time

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

Delivery work in Sunderland mixes residential streets, retail parks and trade counters. Tell us the mix and we match the driver to it.

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

Rounds from the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks vary a lot in stop count and distance, so we ask what a typical day looks like.

Delivery work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Three steps to cover

We check the licence

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

Cover can be extended

If volume stays high, tell us and we plan more days.

Same-day requests

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

Van planning

Before you book delivery drivers

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

Residential rounds in Sunderland mean narrow streets, parking restrictions and a lot of stops in a short time. We match drivers who are used to that pace.

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
  • Any two-person or heavy items on the round
Compliance

Before the first drop

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

Customer contact is most of the job on a residential round. We look for drivers who are courteous at the door and careful with the goods.

van FAQs

Your van driver questions

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.

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.

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 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.
