Every day is different at Vmoves - new vehicles, new routes, and new people to meet. But here’s a glimpse into what a week in the life of a trade plate inspector driver might look like:

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 the time, 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 depending on where you live and your availability, you may be out overnight up to 3-4 nights per week.

Vmoves are a family run business with family values; we treat our Inspector drivers and office team fairly and respectfully. Our philosophy is to pay good rates in exchange for all members accepting ownership for their part in making each vehicle inspection and delivery a success. Good teamwork and considerate behaviour between each other and our customers are the cornerstone of our success to date.
