What a driver’s mate does around Dover

You meet the driver at the pickup, anywhere from Dover to Whitfield, and help load and unload: a sofa up the stairs, a fridge, a whole flat. Most jobs are a short hop from Dover Priory. The driver runs the job and the van; you bring a pair of hands and a steady back.

Offers come to your phone when a driver near Dover needs a hand. Take the ones that suit you; declining never counts against you.
