Reviewed by Dave T., Sidelifter Driver – With Containerlift since 2022

“I’ve been driving for over 15 years, across general haulage, multi-drop, and even agency work—but joining Containerlift has hands-down been the best move of my career.

From day one, it’s been clear they actually value their drivers. You’re not just a number. The planners know your name, your truck is properly maintained, and the kit—especially the sidelifters—is spot on. I run a mix of local and long-distance jobs, and there’s always variety, not just the same depot runs day in, day out.

The pay is competitive, but for me it’s the respect that stands out. If there’s ever a delay or issue on the road, the team works with you, not against you. There’s proper support, the app is simple to use, and unlike other firms I’ve worked for, they actually take your feedback onboard.

It’s a proper professional outfit. Good trucks, smart branding, and well-organised jobs. Plus, if you like working solo and getting stuck in, sidelifter work keeps things interesting. You’re not waiting for forklifts or standing around—you get to control the whole lift. It’s satisfying work.

Would I recommend Containerlift to other drivers? 100%. If you’re skilled, reliable and take pride in the job, they’ll look after you.”
