Frequently asked questions
What is the remuneration?
For each vehicle movement, the trade plate driver would get £30 basic collection fee (BCF) and £0.20 a mile after 60 miles.
Example 1: 300 mile vehicle movement
300 miles - 60 miles = 240 miles
240 miles x £0.20 = £48
£30 BCF + £48 = £78
Example 2: 50 mile vehicle movement
£30 BCF
We also have a bonus scheme coming in the next few weeks.
How many vehicles movements would a driver do a week?
This is dependent on various factors. Usually, we expect drivers to complete approximately 15 vehicle movements a week. Having said that, some drivers are doing more than 15 vehicle movements a week. There are opportunities to work Saturdays. Usually, there are no vehicle movements on Sundays, Bank Holidays & other public holidays.
What is the remuneration cycle?
It is a weekly remuneration cycle, which is sent to the self-employed trade plate drivers bank account on a Friday (Usually same day). The remuneration would be for all vehicle movements completed Monday to Friday by 5pm the prior week.
Who is responsible for driving offences?
The trade plate driver is responsible for all/any driving offences, as they were the driver of that vehicle at the time of the offence.

Who covers the public transport / taxi costs in-between movements?
The trade plate driver would initially cover any public transport / taxi costs and this would be reimbursed the following week on Friday, along with the remuneration.
Having said that, usually we have drivers work together to reduce public transport / taxi cost. If public transport / taxi is required, there would be a experienced designated driver that would cover the costs for other drivers and we would reimburse that driver.
