At Packfleet, we're trying to do something different, we pride ourselves on being better than the large couriers, with a genuine care for our customers, their parcels, and for you, our drivers.

We offer fixed shifts and shift patterns to make sure you can plan ahead, suited to your preferences where possible. We deliver every day of the year except Christmas Day.

- Insurance is included in our van hire

Whether you have your own van or want to rent one of ours, you'll be doing a mixture of collections and deliveries. Collections will be from our merchants and deliveries will be to residential addresses as well as businesses. We pay our drivers for collections as well as deliveries so you don't lose out on cash!

Our customers love our drivers and our service, and we are genuinely a different and unique place to work:

'Just wanted to write in and say that whoever was delivering my parcel today was really lovely, far friendlier than what I am used to! DHL could learn a lot from you!'

If you're excited about working somewhere different that cares about their drivers & customers, then this is the job for you! ​

Apply today, and we'll be in touch as soon as we can to follow-up on your application.
