Workwear for delivery drivers and logistics teams

Visibility in a yard, warmth in a cold store, and a name on the doorstep that the customer trusts.

A delivery operation puts the same clothing through three different environments in one shift: a yard with vehicles moving, a trailer or cold store, and a customer's doorstep. Buying for only one of those is the usual mistake, and it is normally the doorstep that gets forgotten even though it is the only part the customer sees.

In the yard, visibility is the requirement and it is not negotiable — reversing vehicles are the hazard that makes this an industry with mandatory hi-vis. On the doorstep, the same garment is your identification: a recipient deciding whether to open the door is reading your company name off a chest or a back panel.

Cold-chain work needs its own answer. A standard padded jacket is not a cold-store garment, and people who work in one will otherwise layer up with whatever they own, which undoes the uniform entirely.

What this trade needs

Hi-vis polos or vests
Yard and roadside visibility, worn as the base layer rather than over a coat.
Hi-vis softshell or bomber jacket
Weather protection that keeps the visibility class instead of covering it.
Cold-store jacket and trousers
Only for chilled and frozen work, where ordinary padded kit is not enough.
Work trousers or cargo trousers
Hard-wearing, with pockets for a scanner and keys.
Safety footwear
Toe protection against dropped stock and pallet trucks.
Gloves
Grip and abrasion for handling. Specify the standard rather than buying by feel.

The standards that apply

These are garment standards, not site rules. A standard belongs to the individual item and its certificate — so when a garment is specified for you, the certificate is what proves it, not a line on a web page.

EN ISO 20471: High-visibility clothing. Yards with vehicle movement generally call for class 2 or 3.
EN 388: Gloves against mechanical risks, scored for abrasion, cut, tear and puncture — the four digits after the code are the whole point.
EN ISO 20345: Safety footwear, including toe protection against dropped loads.

Settle this before you order

The visibility class your sites and customers' sites require.
Whether any of the work is chilled or frozen, which is a separate garment spec.
Logo on the back as well as the chest, since the doorstep view is often from behind.
Glove requirement, specified by the EN 388 score rather than by name.

You do not need all of them. Trade, head count and where the logo goes is enough to get a useful quote back.
