Behind the Wheel: A Day in the Life of a London Lorry Driver

At London Lorry Courier, our Lorry Drivers are at the heart of everything we do. Each day they navigate London’s roads, deliver goods safely and represent our company with professionalism and care. But what does a typical day look like behind the wheel?

Morning Checks

Every shift starts with a full vehicle inspection. Our drivers ensure our Trucks & Vans In Our Fleet are fuelled, clean and safe before setting off. Load restraints and safety equipment are checked, particularly for DVS Compliant Lorry Transport.

On the Road

London driving requires skill and patience. From Central London drops near The City to East London warehouses, drivers use their local knowledge to navigate traffic and restrictions. Many jobs are Same Day HGV Deliveries, requiring focus and precise timing.

Customer Service

Our drivers do more than drive. They liaise with warehouse teams, event organisers and retail staff to ensure collections and deliveries run smoothly. Whether it’s Event Logistics by Lorry or Cash and Carry Transport, customer interaction is key.

End of Day

After the final Proof of Delivery, vehicles are returned for checks and preparation for the next day. With 24/7 operations, our drivers may also hand over vehicles to the night team.

The Human Side of Haulage

Our drivers bring personality and professionalism to each job. They are the reason our London Lorry Transport is known for reliability and care.
