Freelance Courier Driver Opportunity

As a self-employed courier van driver for Atlas Courier Express, you will have the flexibility to choose when you work and maximize your earnings. A typical day would consist of a collection from near your home, followed by delivery to a single destination, which could be anywhere in the country.

Our financial strength allows us to pay weekly, and we can supply a fuel card to you with a pre-agreed credit limit. This helps with cash flow, which is an issue for many drivers working for other companies.

We operate in much the same way as a taxi company, except we carry goods rather than people. All of our drivers work from home, similar to how a taxi driver sits on a taxi rank. When we get a job suitable for the driver's location and vehicle, we give them a ring and they get the job.

Key Benefits:

  • We provide a fuel card to help you save money on your fuel.
  • We offer insurance to protect you against injury or illness.
  • We pay weekly rather than monthly, meaning you get paid sooner.

What's the Work Like?

Jobs usually consist of collections from companies near your home location, which then get delivered to anywhere in the country. These are paid at a mileage rate per loaded mile. London deliveries are paid at an increased rate to take account of the extra time involved.

On your way home from delivering, we would usually expect to give you between 1 and 3 collections coming back to your local area. These collections are paid on a set rate per collection. This is based on additional mileage that takes you away from your planned return route and quantity of goods being collected.

How Much Will I Earn?

The work we provide is designed to maximize earnings while keeping dead mileage at a minimum. Typically, drivers can earn anywhere between £400 and £1500 per week before running costs. Many drivers average £1000-£1200 a week, which equates to a take-home pay between £550 and £800 a week. All payments are made on a weekly basis.
