Vehicle Collection Driver

Overview

Our client is looking for full‑time experienced trade plate drivers on a contracted self‑employed basis. Immediate starts are available for the right candidate.

As a trade plate/vehicle movement driver you will collect and deliver new and used vehicles all over the UK in a timely and professional manner. In between these vehicle movements you will use public transport to reach your next vehicle collection, and you will receive full reimbursement for these expenses.

When you attend a site to collect a vehicle you will use an app on the provided tablet to accurately appraise each vehicle before departure (noting any existing damage on our customer’s app). Once completed, you will obtain sign‑off from the customer before setting off to deliver the vehicle to its final destination.

You must maintain a smart appearance, be disciplined, reliable, organised and possess excellent interpersonal skills when dealing with customers and office support staff throughout your working day.

Strong communication skills are required to interact with a variety of customers and the office team to ensure any queries, problems or delays are reported and resolved in a timely manner.

You must be an early riser as vehicles need to be delivered to various locations in mainland UK by 9 a.m. or earlier if the schedule allows. If you aren’t comfortable with early starts, this role may not be suitable for you.
