It’s that time of year again.
Whilst the majority of Brits are feeling festive, most delivery drivers are fighting a war against thieves.
You only have to turn on the news to hear about several delivery drivers once again being attacked by thieves. Unfortunately, the seasonal holidays increase this danger.
In Birmingham, just last week, nearly 100 packages were stolen from a Hermes delivery van. You just know that the van was undoubtedly full of Christmas gifts, too. Thankfully the driver was left unhurt, but she is most likely right in thinking she was targeted, as well as followed.
This comes from a string of reports of parcels also being stolen from many customers’ doorsteps. Some people just want to watch the world burn, don’t they?
Remember folks, it’s best to keep your van locked and keys secured at all times. Even if it’s a 5-second jolt to the customer’s doors. A thief can use any amount of time to their advantage.
Delivery drivers haven’t had the kindest treatment this year, so here is another post dedicated to you, and your vans.
Below, you will find a Christmas poem that will hopefully provide you with some cheer, but it’s also a dedication to our delivery driver heroes.
Enjoy, and from all of us here at Cheap Van Insurance, a very Merry Christmas to all our readers and customers!

A Delivery Driver’s Christmas
In the lead up to Christmas Day
Many are at home, awaiting deliveries
Busy delivery drivers are working away
Hitting impossible targets, but how?
It’s a mystery
We applaud their vigour
And vigilance too
For thieves will be watching
Awaiting their cue
Criminals will try to steal your gifts
But delivery drivers stand firm,
Work crazy shifts,
and provide lifts
To your children’s presents
Making burglars hiss
They fight off the thieves,
Through staying alert
And protecting your package
Though some may get hurt
So this Christmas
We salute the true Santa Claus
They are our delivery drivers
Who deserve rounds of applause
