Become a Courier Driver & Enjoy the Stability & Flexibility of a SLX Express's Driver
The flexibility of being a courier driver extends to which jobs you choose to take on. If the timings don’t work for you, you don’t have to accept the job. Being a Speedy Freight courier driver is the perfect way to achieve the work-life balance you’re striving for, whatever that looks like for you.
A courier driver job is ideal for anyone looking to plan their work around their other commitments, rather than the other way around. It allows you to do the school run, fit in a few hours of studying, head to the gym, or pursue other passions.
