Join J&M Lightyear Logistics Ltd
J&M Lightyear Logistics Ltd is a professional, family-run logistics company delivering high-quality final mile services on behalf of a nationally recognised carrier. We are currently looking for reliable, customer-focused Self-Employed Multi-Drop Delivery Drivers to operate from our customer's depot in Bodmin, Cornwall (PL31)
This is an excellent opportunity for experienced drivers looking for regular weekday work with the support of a professional logistics company.
What We Offer If Successful
- £180 per day (£140 per day after the £40 daily vehicle and fuel charge).
- Regular Monday to Friday work.
- Additional Saturday work may be required at the request of our customer and will be paid separately at an agreed rate.
- A fully insured delivery vehicle (typically less than four years old) and company fuel card provided (daily charge: £40, automatically deducted from your day rate).
- Online registration and onboarding platform, with a simple self-billing process providing 24/7 access to your invoices, payment information and contractor records.
- Consistent, ongoing work.
- Support from an experienced and professional operations team.
Payment
As a self-employed contractor, you will be paid through J&M Lightyear Logistics Ltd's self-billing process. We prepare your self-billed invoices on your behalf, providing a simple and efficient payment process.
Payments are made weekly, one week in arrears. This means that after completing your first week of work, you will be paid the following Friday and weekly payments thereafter.
Example:
- If you start providing services on the 1st of the month, your first week's work (1st–7th) will be paid on the 15th of the month. From then on, you will receive a payment every consecutive Friday, with each payment covering work completed the week earlier.
Training
Successful applicants will receive one-to-one ride-along training with an experienced driver to ensure they are fully prepared before operating independently.
Training typically lasts 1 to 3 days, depending on your previous multi-drop delivery experience and how quickly you become familiar with the route and customer requirements.
Training days are paid at 50% of the standard day rate (£70 per day).
The Role
As a Self-Employed Multi-Drop Delivery Driver, you will:
- Deliver parcels safely and efficiently within a designated delivery area.
- Provide excellent customer service on every delivery.
- Complete daily vehicle checks and report any defects.
- Follow all customer and company operational procedures.
- Maintain a professional and courteous approach when representing our customer.
- Ensure parcels are delivered accurately and securely.
What We're Looking For
The ideal applicant will have:
- A full UK driving licence.
- Previous multi-drop delivery or courier experience (preferred but not essential).
- Excellent time management and organisational skills.
- Strong customer service and communication skills.
- The ability to work independently and manage a busy delivery route.
- The right to work in the UK.
- Self-employed status or a willingness to register as self-employed.
