Built around your driving day

More time delivering. Less time chasing details.

Find work that fits

Review available delivery opportunities. Check the locations, goods, timing and payment terms before you accept or quote.

Know your next stop

Keep your route, delivery addresses, item details and customer instructions together on your phone.

Finish with proof

Record the outcome, recipient details, photos and signatures against the right job.

Keep building your own business

Your work does not have to come from Nexus to run through Drive It

A repeat customer needs a collection. A retailer has a delivery booked. A suitable Deliverate job could fit around them. Keep the work you choose organised in one driving day.

You can enter your own collection and delivery jobs, plan the stops and keep each customer’s instructions with the correct booking. Use customer tracking and delivery evidence to give people a service they can use again.

You stay responsible for the work you accept. Check the vehicle, crew, access, timings and payment terms before adding another delivery. Marketplace work is another source of opportunities; its availability varies by area, vehicle and date.

Already using another courier platform? You can manually add jobs you are authorised to manage, subject to its terms. This is not an automatic connection to SDCN, Courier Exchange, AnyVan or Shiply.

Make each job a sensible choice

Delivery work that fits your van and your day

Local collections and deliveries

Check travel to the collection, access and time at each address. A nearby delivery still needs room in your schedule, suitable capacity and an agreed price.

Furniture and bulky items

Confirm dimensions, weight, loading arrangements, stairs and crew requirements. Only accept work your vehicle, equipment and team can safely complete.

Longer journeys and return loads

Assess extra work against the whole journey home. Include the detour, waiting and handling time before deciding whether the payment works for you.

These are examples of work to assess, not guaranteed vacancies. Actual opportunities depend on demand, location, vehicle suitability and approval.

Plan better return journeysCheck whether a job pays

Clear membership costs

60 days to see how Drive It fits your business

£0 during your 60-day trial after approval. Then £79 including VAT per month from day 61 when renewal is authorised.

There is no separate joining fee. The trial starts when operational access is approved, so waiting for checks does not use up your trial. One trial applies per user; any previously agreed longer trial remains valid.

Authorise renewal through secure Stripe checkout, which shows the first payment date. Cancel before the next renewal to avoid the next payment. Without payment authorisation, no charge is taken: full access ends after the trial and saved records remain available read-only.

Mapping is provided by Nexus: no personal Google Maps account or API key is required. Applicable network charges and each job’s transport payment terms are separate. Review them before committing.

Try the workflow with your existing work and assess the ongoing value for your business. Membership does not guarantee jobs, return loads or earnings.

Drive It questions, answered

What is Drive It?

Drive It is courier software and driver-network membership from Nexus Delivery Team Limited. Independent drivers can manage their own bookings, routes, delivery tracking and proof of delivery alongside eligible network opportunities.

What happens after the free trial?

Authorise renewal in secure Stripe checkout to continue full access at £79 including VAT monthly. Stripe shows your first payment date. Without payment authorisation, no charge is taken and full access ends after the trial; saved records remain read-only. Cancel before the next renewal to avoid the next payment.

Is Drive It the same as Deliverate?

They have different roles. Deliverate is the customer-facing delivery marketplace. Drive It provides driver tools for bookings, routes, tracking and proof of delivery. Deliverate also has a free driver membership route, subject to checks and approval; full Drive It tools are covered by the trial or paid membership.

How do drivers get paid?

Read the arrangement for each job. Some customers pay the courier directly; Nexus or managed work can have a different payout arrangement. Confirm the driver amount, payer, charges, required evidence and payment timing before accepting. The customer’s total booking price is not necessarily your payout.

Can I use Drive It alongside other courier platforms?

You can manually enter jobs you are authorised to manage, subject to the originating platform’s terms. Drive It does not claim an automatic integration with SDCN, Courier Exchange, AnyVan or Shiply.

Does Drive It provide return loads?

Eligible approved drivers can review suitable Deliverate opportunities when available. Whether a job fits a return journey depends on route, timing, capacity and demand. There is no guarantee of a backload on any route.

Who is Drive It for?

Self-employed couriers and owner drivers who want to find suitable delivery work and manage their day from one driver account.

How much does it cost?

All approved Drive It users receive 60 days free. Membership is £79 including VAT per month from day 61 when you authorise renewal. Cancel before renewal to avoid payment. Any longer trial already confirmed remains valid. Separate mapping and optional service charges are explained in the membership terms.

What do I need to join?

Supply your driver and vehicle details, current driving licence, required commercial or Hire & Reward motor insurance and Goods in Transit insurance through the secure registration process. Required checks must be complete before operational access is approved. Keep documents current after joining.

Can I use my own customer jobs?

Yes. You can add your own collection and delivery jobs and manage them alongside the work you accept through the network.

Is work guaranteed?

No. Opportunities depend on location, demand, your vehicle and approval status. Review each job before committing. Membership does not guarantee work or earnings.

How do I get the app?

Use the download link for iPhone or Android and follow the driver setup guide. Both apps are in beta. You can download before approval, but your driver account must be approved before you can access your work.
