Job description

Overview

What if your next journey wasn’t just a trip, but a career move? Why punch a clock when you could be steering your own success – literally. Our self‑employed contractor role allows you to do exactly that and be your own boss and choose your own working schedule.

Why settle for a job when you can manage your own schedule, explore the country, and drive different vehicles daily? We require Inspector Drivers to appraise and deliver a variety of vehicles across the UK. Our experienced planning team will plan and offer you assignments, based on your previous delivery location, availability and licence type, and we publish target moves and route plans before you accept, so you know how your day pays.

We operate within DVLA trade‑plate rules (roadworthy & valid MOT) and set clear customer‑service expectations. Safety and compliance first and require individuals with a can‑do professional attitude, patience, an eye for detail and a true understanding of what customer service is.

Earnings

• Daily Earnings: Can range between £85‑£140 (the more vehicles you deliver, the more you earn). Weekly potential: range £425‑£700+.
• Overnight Pay: Up to £50/night for overnight stays when applicable.
• Increased earnings options: Increased fee for weekend work.
• Fuel: Covered via company fuel cards.
• Invoicing: Done for you via our simple self‑billing system.
• Payments: Every single week – no waiting, no chasing.

Support

• We provide you with fuel cards.
• A large pool of work sourced for you by our logistics team.
• Flexible working days / times to suit you.
• Support from our experienced office team.
• 24/7 on‑call emergency and breakdown support.
• Optional third‑party accountancy provider.

Requirements

• A full driving licence (Max 6 penalty points & no DR/CD/DD/TT99 endorsement codes).
• Right to work in the UK and ability to pass a DBS check.
• Overnight flexibility.
• The ability to conduct yourself in a professional manner and a commitment to providing excellent customer service.
• Comfortable using public transport between jobs and walking 1–3 miles as needed.
• Vehicle inspection experience would be an advantage, but this is not a necessity as we offer full training.

New to Self‑Employment?

We understand stepping into self‑employment may be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. We can offer access to a trusted 3rd‑party accountancy provider to help you navigate this, and more detail will be provided during our online induction programme.

Week in the Life of a Trade‑Plate Inspector Driver

Monday: Starting your week, you will make independent travel arrangements to your first collection. You will inspect the vehicle, recording the vehicle condition and images on our inspection app. Once you’ve delivered that vehicle, you’ll head to your next assignment and/or depending on what time it is, stay overnight near the next day’s vehicle collection location. This could be at home or a hotel.

Tues­day to Friday: Inspect – Collect – Deliver – Earn – Repeat. This would be your rhythm: Collect, inspect and deliver your vehicles across the UK, from major cities to the rural countryside. Record details using our app, simple and fast. Stay overnight or go via home – the movement offered will advise you of the plan, and dependant on where you live and your availability, you may be out overnight up to 3–4 nights per week.
