Vehicle Transport Driver (Part-Time/On-Call)

Location: Nanaimo, BC (with travel to Vancouver & the Lower Mainland)

About the Role

We are looking for responsible, reliable drivers to join our transporter team. This role involves picking up and delivering vehicles between dealerships on Vancouver Island, Vancouver, and the Lower Mainland.

Approximately 90% of our work involves transporting vehicles from Vancouver Island to the Lower Mainland, while the remaining 10% consists of inter-island transport within Vancouver Island.

The workdays are long (9–14 hours, including ferry travel), but the pace is relaxed and you’ll enjoy the camaraderie of a friendly group of fellow drivers.

This position is best suited for retirees or semi-retired individuals who enjoy driving, staying active, and being part of a team. It’s not about the money — it’s about enjoying the road and the company.

Key Responsibilities

- Safely pick up and deliver vehicles between dealerships
- Follow scheduled routes and timelines provided
- Perform basic vehicle checks prior to delivery (fuel, cleanliness, etc.)
- Represent the company in a skilled and courteous manner
- Adhere to all traffic laws and maintain safe driving practices

Important to Know

- Average day is 10–12 hours
- Pay is modest — this role is not suited for those relying on it as primary income. We pay by the trip, not the hour (aka piece rate).




- Best suited for those who are retired and looking to stay active
