Our driver's mates will travel with the driver of the truck or van, helping to load and unload deliveries. They may do local runs or support the driver during long-distance journeys.

Responsibilities vary depending on your requirements, but driver's mates may assist the driver with:

• Packing and loading the vehicle, taking account of the delivery order and making sure that items are easily accessible.
• Checking that all of the items are accounted for against delivery sheets.
• Checking the load is safe and remains secure.
• Telephoning customers to confirm delivery times, if required.
• Helping unload goods at the delivery point.
• Removing packaging and placing items at the customer's request.
• Obtaining delivery signatures from customers.
• Guiding when parking in tight spaces.
