Job ref: 292722
Circa £45,000 - £70,000 per annum
Working hours: Monday-Sunday
At Parcelforce Worldwide we’re growing our business and exceeding customer expectations. You could do the same as a Self Employed Owner Driver.
About the role
As a Self Employed Owner Driver, you would be in charge of your own business, while being backed by the world’s largest delivery network. We promise to promptly prepare and pay your invoices weekly, accommodate your preferred route wherever possible and give you up-to-date tools for the role, including our latest delivery technology. You could expect to earn £45,000-£70,000 per annum depending on the number of deliveries and collections completed each week and the route and delivery time of those packages. This is an excellent opportunity to own and run your own business with backing from us.
About you
Organised and efficient, you’ll need a long wheel-based van (either your own van or hired) and a full driving licence that covers your vehicle. In an ideal world your licence would be clean, but it definitely shouldn’t have more than 6 penalty points. You’ll also be able to arrange route cover if you’re unable to perform your route.
As well as vehicle insurance which must cover the carriage of goods for hire and reward you will also need;
£5 million Public Liability insurance
£5 million Employers Liability insurance
£25,000 Goods in Transit insurance.
