Job description

Self-Employed Delivery Driver – 3.5T / LWB / Sprinter / Own Car - DELIVERY INSURANCE PROVIDED

Self-employed | Paid monthly

We're recruiting self-employed delivery drivers across the Manchester Area.

Why Drive With Us

• No per-parcel guesswork on van routes — Van drivers earn a guaranteed day rate of £120–£200, so you know what you're working towards before you start.
• Per-parcel rate on car routes — Very competitive rates paid per parcel delivered, so the harder and faster you go, the more you earn, with no ambiguity about the rate.
• Choose your vehicle — drive your own car, or rent a van from us (3.5T, LWB, or Sprinter) with the cost simply deducted from your invoice. No upfront hire fees.
• Fast start — get onboarded and out on the road in days, not weeks.
• Flexible scheduling — routes built around your availability, whether that’s a few hours a day or full‑time hours.
• Local and multi-drop routes available — work close to home or take on a bigger round, your choice.
• Overtime available, with no cap on how much you take on — the more you're willing to do, the more you earn.

What You'll Do

• Collect parcels from your local depot
• Deliver (and collect, where applicable) across your round using your own car or a rented company van
• Manage your own schedule within agreed collection/delivery windows
• Handle parcels professionally and keep accurate delivery records

Vehicle Options

• Bring your own car — ideal for smaller, local rounds, paid at 70p per parcel
• Rent a van from us — 3.5T, LWB, or Sprinter available daily, with rental costs deducted directly from your invoice, so there's nothing to pay upfront
