What the published data covers
Adding up the published local figures across the 207 areas with data gives 89,920 on the measure this role is indexed by, which is employee jobs in postal and courier activities. The middle area records 185. That is arithmetic over local releases, not a national statistic, and areas the publisher withholds are simply absent from it.
The largest are Leicestershire at 5,050, Warwickshire at 4,520, Slough at 3,575, Kent at 3,400, Sandwell at 3,075. Coverage runs across 11 regions of Scotland and England and Wales.
The Business Register and Employment Survey counts employee jobs that exist in an area in 2024. It is not a count of vacancies, it is not a measure of demand, and it says nothing about how many roles are being advertised today.
Van and multi-drop driver: the full picture
Employed, self-employed and what that changes
Some multi-drop work is employed with holiday pay and a wage. Some is owner-driver or franchise work where you invoice, run the vehicle and carry the costs. The two look similar in an advert and are completely different arrangements.
If a role is self-employed, ask what the day rate covers, who pays for the van, insurance and fuel, and what happens if you are sick. Employment status is a legal question, not a preference, and it decides your rights.
What employers check
A full category B licence, usually held for six months or more, and a licence check for points. Under 3.5 tonnes there is no Driver CPC and no tachograph, but working time rules and the vehicle's weight limit still apply.
The trade-off is pace. A round can run to well over a hundred and fifty stops, the scanner tracks every one of them, and the difference between a good day and a bad one is usually how well the van was loaded.
Loading is the part nobody mentions at interview. Sequencing the van to the round saves an hour a day, and the drivers who last are the ones who learn that in the first week.
Before you apply
- A full category B car licence
- Usually at least six months of driving experience
- A clean-ish licence, and most employers check points
- No Driver CPC needed under 3.5 tonnes
