A Dedicated Vehicle and Driver for the Whole Shift
When you have a busy day of multi-site deliveries or a job that involves unpredictable waiting times, paying “per pallet” is a mug’s game. The costs spiral, and you end up arguing over waiting time charges.
Day Rate Hire is the “no-nonsense” solution. You aren’t just hiring a truck; you’re buying a dedicated resource for the entire shift. It’s the most cost-effective way to handle complex schedules or high-volume local runs without the paperwork headache.
Total Control of the Schedule
If you have a truck on a day rate, you are the boss. You decide the route, the priority of the drops, and what the driver does next.
The Chadkirk Way: You don’t need to ring our traffic desk every time you want to add a stop. You talk directly to the driver. Whether it’s a shuttle run between two warehouses or a multi-drop route around the city, the driver is yours for the duration of the shift.

Fixed Costs, No Surprises
The biggest “migraine” in transport is the hidden charges. You think a job will cost £200, but because the site kept the driver for three hours, you get a bill for £350.
The Chadkirk Way: With a Day Rate, you know exactly what you’re paying before the wheels even turn. There are no “waiting time” arguments and no per-drop fees. It’s one fixed price, making your project budgeting ten times easier.

Not Agency Temps
Professional Drivers
The risk with hiring a “man and a van” or an agency driver is that they don’t know your gear or your customers. They might turn up with a truck that isn’t fit for the job or lack the right safety equipment.
The Chadkirk Way: You get our full professional service. That means a Chadkirk driver who understands load securing and professional site conduct. You get a clean, modern vehicle—whether it’s a Luton with a tail-lift, a 26t rigid, or a Moffett artic—and a driver who knows how to use it.
The “Wait and Return” Solution
Some jobs—like delivering heavy fabrications to a site that needs to be “signed off” before the driver can leave—are a nightmare for standard haulage.
The Chadkirk Way: Because the driver is on a day rate, they can wait. They don’t have another ten pallets in the back for another customer. They stay on-site as long as you need them to, ensuring the job is finished properly without the driver “clock-watching” to get to their next drop.
