Delivery drivers for Truro operators

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

Operators across Devon & Cornwall run vans out of sites such as Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots. We match drivers who are comfortable with the stop counts those rounds carry.

Christmas, Black Friday and seasonal sales push van volume across Devon & Cornwall. Temporary drivers take the extra rounds.

Same-day and courier work for chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers can mean a long run at short notice, so we check the driver is happy to travel.

Where van cover gets used

Delivery work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a van driver

We check the licence

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

You confirm who is coming

We tell you the driver, the start time and the depot.

Cover can be extended

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

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.

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:

  • The delivery area and any tricky access
  • Which handheld scanner or delivery app the round uses
  • How many drivers and for how many days
  • Any two-person or heavy items on the round
Compliance

Licence and right to work

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

Good to know

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.

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.
