Last mile training is designed for delivery drivers and logistics staff responsible for the final stage of delivery to customers. It’s ideal for couriers, fleet drivers, and businesses offering local or e-commerce deliveries. The training focuses on safe driving, customer service, efficiency, and reducing failed deliveries - helping companies improve performance and customer satisfaction in the most critical part of the supply chain.
What's Included
Last mile driver training prepares delivery drivers for the final, highest-pressure stage of the journey - urban streets, tight residential roads, frequent stops and time on the doorstep. DriveSense delivers it for UK delivery, grocery and logistics operators, including work with Ocado and, through DEKRA, Amazon delivery associates.
1. Urban & Residential Precision Driving
This feature focuses on the unique challenges of the final stage of delivery. Drivers learn specialised techniques for safe and efficient driving in congested urban areas and tight residential streets. This mastery helps reduce delivery errors and protects your brand image during the most visible part of the supply chain.
2. Doorstep Professionalism & Customer Service
Last-mile delivery is often the only physical point of contact a customer has with your brand. Our training integrates customer service excellence with technical driving, ensuring drivers maintain high levels of professionalism and "doorstep" etiquette to boost overall customer satisfaction.
3. Optimised Route & Resource Management
Drivers are equipped with strategies for effective route planning and time management under pressure. Additionally, the course covers eco-driving techniques and secure parcel handling, which directly reduces fuel emissions and costs while minimising the frequency of failed deliveries.
Who it's for
Courier, parcel, grocery and e-commerce delivery operations, and the van drivers who work for them - both new starters and experienced drivers. It is typically commissioned by fleet, transport and operations managers.
How it's delivered
Classroom sessions for up to 30 drivers, delivered at your site as a half day (4 hours) or full day (8 hours) by qualified driving instructors. It can be combined with in-vehicle coaching or low speed manoeuvre workshops for drivers who need practical support.
What your operation gets
Drivers who handle urban roads and frequent stops more safely, present your brand well at the door and work more efficiently on route - plus a training record for every driver.
