Wanted: owner drivers who’ll go the extra mile

Our business is growing quickly and this means we need more owner drivers for our fast moving, high-tech Sameday service. But there’s more to this than driving – we see our licensed owner drivers as our business partners, so we want you to be among the industry’s best.

That means sharing our commitment to first class customer service as well as being well presented, personable and genuinely motivated to ‘go the extra mile’.

We can offer you:

• Flexible working hours as work is available 24/7 365 days a year throughout the UK
• Regular monthly payments by BACS straight into your account
• Automatic self-billing (no need to invoice us, we do all the paperwork for you)
• Access to the Royal Mail Tracking app making you more visible to our operators which increases your chances of being offered work as well as making accepting and signing off jobs easier and more efficient.
• No joining fees to become a part of our network of drivers
