What is a trade plate driver?

A trade plate driver is a professional driver who collects and delivers vehicles for a living.

The actual 'trade plate' is a special set of registration plates they carry to notify the police and other drivers that they are driving the vehicle in the capacity of a professional.

Trade plate drivers have to be suitably skilled and insured to undertake the job, and a good trade plate driver is worth their weight in gold as the job requires flexibility, patience and a lot of travelling.

Over the years, Shift A Car have built a reputable network of trade plate drivers, and because of the fact that hiring a trade plate driver is the cheapest option for moving a single vehicle, this continues to be one of our most popular services.
