Download the app

To set up your driver account, you will first need to download our DeliveryApp app to your smartphone.

• iPhone users can download the mobile app from the App Store
• Android users can download the mobile app from Google Play

Open the app and choose ‘Driver’

When you open the app you will see this option,
Choose ‘Driver’ and ‘Continue as Driver’ to continue.

Registration

Complete the initial registration page by entering your email and setting a password. You will also need to confirm if you are a company, a fleet and VAT registered. Once you have entered this information, read and accept our Terms & Conditions, and click ‘Create Account’.

Please note: you do not need to be a company, a fleet or VAT registered to become a driver, this information is to help us set your account correctly.

Apply

After setting up your password, you will be presented with the 7 steps to register and apply for your driver account. Work through these steps in any order to complete the process. Only once all of these steps have been completed, and a green ‘Check’ icon appears against each step, will your application be automatically sent to our Driver Team for activation.

Address

Enter your address by adding your postcode and selecting your address from the postcode lookup. Or you can choose to enter your address manually.

DVLA check code

Add your DVLA check code. If you don’t have one to hand, you can create one within the app, as we link to the gov.uk website. You will need your driving licence number, your National Insurance number and the postcode on your driving licence.

Verify phone number

Verify your mobile phone number. Click ‘Step 3 Verify My Number’ and add your mobile number where prompted. When you click ‘Verify’ a 4-digit verification code will be sent to your mobile phone, enter this code to verify your mobile phone number.

Add a vehicle

Add in your vehicle registration number and click ‘Find Vehicle’. You will then be prompted to select the type of vehicle you have from a list of all vehicle types from a car to a 7.5 Tonne Lorry. You will also need to:

• Add the Payload in kg.
  • To calculate the payload for your car, you can simply take away the curb weight from the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), which is generally printed either on the sticker inside the driver’s side door or inside the petrol cap. For example, if a 3 door Ford Fiesta has a GVW of 1,620kg, and a curb weight of 1,136, the payload of car would be 484kg.
• Add the MOT and Tax due dates
• Upload a valid copy of your V5 (vehicle logbook) or finance/lease agreement
• Upload images of your vehicle from the front, back, side and inside

Please note: We are not currently accepting motorbikes, although you are still welcome to register this type of vehicle and we will alert you when we commence jobs for this type of vehicle.
