HGV Trade Plate Driver / Vehicle Collection & Delivery (Self-Employed)

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 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.

Typical Week

• Monday: Starting your week, you will make independent travel arrangements to your first collection. Inspect the vehicle and record the condition and images on our inspection app. Once you’ve delivered that vehicle, you’ll head to your next assignment or, if the time is late, stay overnight near the next day’s vehicle collection location (home or hotel).
• Tuesday to Friday: Inspect – Collect – Deliver – Earn – Repeat. 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 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.
