There are no overnight stays. Typical London routes include 10 to 15 drops, with potential for more during busy periods. Start times depend on the route.

Drivers are responsible for completing a mandatory safety check of the vehicle before starting their shift, which takes at least 15 minutes and must be documented. While a driver’s mate will accompany every vehicle, drivers will need to assist with deliveries. All vehicles are equipped with an electric pump truck and tail-lift to facilitate the work.
