Has anyone got any info on I can get into a career of Trade Plate Driving? (Transport and Collecting Vehicles etc,)

re: to mr.piper,

So basically trade plate driving is a free-lanced vocation with no fixed company/agency? Is there much demand for trade plate driving in the Greater London area? What sort of showrooms dealerships hire trade plate drivers? Thanks

Hey, I work for a truck and van dealer and obviously get quite alot of delivery drivers bring up vehicles to us. There are a lot of companies within the uk that hire people to bring these vehicles to dealerships in england, scotland, northern ireland and wales. Probably not much help but i think all you need is a clean driving licence and a licence with the correct type of vehicle on it to drive.

All trade plate driving means is that you are driving a vehicle that has not been taxed/registered to go out on the open road yet or that it carries a tachograph
