Delivery Drivers with a Van

Salary: £685 + per week*

6 - 10 week assignment starting in October/November

At Manpower we are working together with our client to deliver what they need, so we're looking for Drivers with their own vehicle to delivery parcels of all shapes and sizes.

You'll be paid based on *£2.75 per 'Drop' made with a minimum of 50 Drops per day, irrespective of whether the actual number of Drops is lower than this. The Owner Driver rate includes for an average of 150 miles per day.

 

A 'Drop' is classed per item attempted to be delivered/collected. More than one Drop may be completed at the same location, if there are multiple consignments to be delivered/collected. If an item is unsuccessful in being delivered to the original address but is taken to a local Post Office this visit to the Post Office is also classed as a 'Drop'. Regardless of the number of consignments, only one Drop is recognised for each Post Office visit.

 

You'll be supplied with a hand-held scanner which you will be trained on, that will map out your routes with the information of each delivery - this must be followed to plan, as some deliveries are timed and must take precedence, and the following rules for deliveries apply:

  • If you are unable to make the delivery to the right address, then you can attempt to leave with a neighbour, but you must obtain a signature and place a docket left through the door, notifying the recipient of where their parcel has been left, at no point must you place a parcel on someone door step as you will liable for the cost of any missing items.
  • If you chose to drop off any parcel to the nearest Post Office for them to go and collect, you will receive just 1 drop off price for the multiple parcels left at this location.
  • If the parcels are taken back to depot then no fee will be given, and these will then be put back out on van the following day.

So if you are interested and you're your own Transit Van and have the correct documentation: -

Full valid MOT Certificate

Your own insurance with the following

  • £5,000,000.00 Indemnity
  • £5,000,000.00 Company liability
  • £25,000.00 Goods in transit

 

You're who we're looking for!

 

 

If you like the sound of this and are willing to give it a go, please apply now with your CV!
