Find Delivery & Transport Work
Smart Taurus is a marketplace where customers post delivery and transport jobs and verified drivers quote on the ones that fit their vehicles and routes. You choose the work, you set the prices.
What work is posted on Smart Taurus?
Customers post point-to-point jobs of every size: a single eBay wardrobe, a two-bed flat move, a car collected from auction, a pallet that needs a tail-lift. Because jobs are posted with pickup and delivery locations, you can filter by your area or by routes you already run and quote only on jobs that fit. Pick the type of work that matches your vehicle and experience:
Courier Jobs
Parcel and small-item runs posted by customers near you or along your lanes.
Delivery Work
General delivery jobs of every size, from boxed goods to bulky one-off items.
Man and Van Jobs
Small moves, single items and student flits suited to a van and driver.

Run your own vehicle as an independent business — choose jobs, set prices.

Work by vehicle
Already know what you drive? These pages break down the jobs each vehicle wins most, and how to quote them:
Small Van Courier Jobs
Parcels, documents and urgent spares from customers who don't want to pay for a bigger van.
LWB Van Jobs
The contested middle of the market: too big for a compact van, nowhere near a removals crew.
Luton Van Work
House moves and heavy deliveries where the box body and tail lift win the booking.
Pickup Truck Jobs
Appliances, lumber and couches across town — make your truck bed pay its way.
7.5 Tonne Driver Work
Full house moves and multi-pallet loads for C1 licence holders.
How does Smart Taurus work for drivers?
Getting set up takes three steps:
- Download the app and complete driver verification. Register as a driver, pass an identity check and upload your documents — driving licence and insurance documents, such as goods in transit and hire & reward cover where applicable. Verified profiles carry a badge customers can trust.
- Browse jobs and send quotes. Filter posted jobs by your area or by routes you already drive, then quote your own price on the ones you want. Customers compare quotes and reviews before booking.
- Get booked, deliver, collect reviews and get paid. Payment is held in-app and paid out securely to your account via Stripe — no invoicing chase, no cash risk. Good reviews build your reputation and help you win more work over time.
Who sets the prices?
You do. Smart Taurus does not assign jobs or dictate rates — every quote is your own, based on the distance, the load, the access and whether the job fits a journey you are already making. That last point matters most: because customers post point-to-point jobs, a delivery that would be marginal as a dedicated trip can be well worth quoting as a backload on a leg you would otherwise drive empty. Our customer-side page on backloading explains why customers actively look for these quotes.
