    Your best bet is to find out about depots near you, and who delivers to that depot. then you can look to send off cv's / application forms to them directly.
    I wouldn't go with a company who charge you money upfront, but be aware that to do own driver / own vehicle courier work you need to do a lot of deliveries just to break even - some will only pay around 50p per drop (maybe even less) and the bigger companies will supply their own vehicle, uniform etc
