Driver FAQ

People who need the Man and Van service enter their removal details on our web form, then Quick Man and Van calculates the costs for the removal according to your pricing settings and displays the quote on the results page. In case you are not available on the date and time selected by the customer, you will not appear in the results page. Customers can then book instantly if they are satisfied with the costs and terms of the job. When a customer books your service, you are notified with booking details and you can either accept or reject the job.

Direct-Cargo Jobs are bookings that have the collection address in your operational radius.

Return-Cargo Jobs are bookings that have the delivery address in your operational radius - this means you go to the collection address which can be outside your operational radius and when you get to the delivery address, you are in your radius. These jobs are basically the reversed Direct-Cargo Jobs, have the same cost, except you carry the customer's items on your way back.

B2B Jobs are bookings created by Business to Business customers. B2B Customers are companies that have a contract with Quick Man and Van and offer jobs periodically. The payment for B2B Jobs are done on the 7th of the next month and any additional charges (like extra hours, congestion charge, etc) must be reported by the driver to Quick Man and Van and added to the final bill. B2B Customers does not use Cash Payments.

The radius is the value used to define a circle with the center in your base address which is considered your service area from where you will pick jobs. For Direct-Cargo Jobs, the collection address must be inside the circle defined by given radius. For Return-Cargo Jobs the delivery address will be inside the circle defined by given radius. Note that while the radius is a number, the service area is a circle and because the roads are not a straight line, the distance from your base to a job pickup for Direct-Cargo jobs (or delivery for Return-Cargo jobs) can have more miles than the radius value itself, but you will be paid according to your prices for the extra mileage. The best way to establish a desired radius is to also check the map to see which points you are reaching with a given radius.

By default, you are considered available for work permanently. If you have time intervals that you are unavailable, simple go to your calendar page and click (and drag to select multiple) the date and time when you are unavailable.

By clicking on the red marked date time interval you erase the restriction and you become available for the given date and time interval.
