Hi, I’m Chris and I’m a part-time (and sometimes full-time!) Trade Plate Driver for a Hampshire commercial vehicle dealer! Today I try to answer some popular questions about Trade Plate Driving, such as: What’s it like being a Trade Plate Driver? What’s the money like? Is it long hours? Should you become a Trade Plate Driver?
There’s a lot more to it than you might think, so if you’re thinking of becoming a Trade Plater, I hope the information I give you in this video helps you decide whether or not this would be the right decision for you.
In the meantime, come along for the journey with me to get an idea of a typical day in the life of a Trade Plate Driver. Today I deliver a vehicle in for servicing under recall, and then travel by train to Weston-super-Mare to inspect and collect a used van, before having a look at the seafront. Actually that “looking-at-the-seafront” bit is perhaps not quite so typical…
Information given is correct to the best of my knowledge at time of recording in May 2024.
