Vehicle movement work for professional drivers

RouteRelay gives professional drivers fixed-payout vehicle movement work — trade plate and transporter jobs from dealers and the motor trade — with the job details, proof workflow and payment handling in one place. No bidding, no race to the bottom: the payout on the job is the payout you get.

Fixed payouts, not bidding

Quote-chasing platforms make drivers compete downwards on price. RouteRelay works the other way: each movement is listed at a fixed driver payout, visible before you accept. You judge whether the job is worth it for the route, the vehicle and your day — not whether someone desperate will do it for less.

The work

  • Trade plate (driven) movements of roadworthy vehicles — the bread and butter.
  • Transporter jobs for non-runners, accident-damaged and multi-vehicle moves.
  • Recovery and enclosed movements where the vehicle demands it.
  • Dealer transfers, auction collections and delivery of prepared retail stock.

Every job states its movement type and vehicle condition up front, so a non-runner is never dressed up as a driven job.

Verified onboarding — and why it is good for you

Drivers are manually approved, with document checks before work can be accepted. That is deliberate: dealers hand over vehicles worth tens of thousands of pounds, and they do it more readily inside a network where every driver has been checked. Vetting is what keeps the work worth doing.

Proof protects drivers too

Photo proof at collection and delivery is mandatory on every RouteRelay movement. Condition photos before the vehicle moves mean pre-existing damage is on record — the most common driver complaint on informal jobs ("they said I scratched it") mostly stops existing when the evidence is captured before the key is turned.

Finding work

Jobs appear on a live map around you and on a list sorted by payout. While browsing you see safe job details; sensitive collection specifics such as auction codes and contact details are shown only after a job is assigned to you. Status updates keep the dealer informed from the job record, so you drive instead of fielding calls.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of work is on RouteRelay?

Dealer and trade vehicle movements: trade plate (driven) jobs for roadworthy vehicles, and transporter or recovery jobs for non-runners, damaged or higher-value vehicles. Each job shows the movement type, route at region level, vehicle condition and a fixed payout before you accept.

How do I see the payout for a job?

Every job shows its fixed driver payout up front. There is no bidding and no negotiating down: the payout you see on the job is the payout for completing it, and it never depends on undercutting another driver.

What do I need to be approved?

Drivers are manually approved before they can accept work. Expect document checks — for example driving licence and motor trade insurance, and trade plate proof for driven movements. Document requirements are checked in the app, and expired documents pause new work rather than catching you out mid-job.

How does proof protect me as a driver?

You photograph the vehicle before it moves and again at handover, with timestamps. If a dealer later queries a mark or a missing item, the record shows what was there when you collected. The same evidence that protects the dealer protects you from being blamed for pre-existing damage.

How do I find jobs?

On a live map around your location and on a list view sorted by payout. Jobs show safe details while you browse; collection specifics such as auction collection codes and contact details are revealed once a job is yours.

When do I get paid?

Payouts become payable after delivery is completed and confirmed with proof. Payment and payout details are handled inside the platform with your bank details stored encrypted and never shown to dealers.
