Class 1 Driver - Palletised work

Please note that this position is open to UK applicants only

Job Description

Are you looking for Class 1 palletised work?
We’re seeking a reliable and committed Class 1 Driver to join a busy team in Ilkeston, with an immediate start. The role involves palletised deliveries across the UK.
Typically, you’ll complete one drop and one collection per shift. If the route requires traveling further or includes a run planned for the next day, you may need to overnight away from home—usually around 3 nights per week, with a payment of £30 per night.
There’s no manual handling involved since all loads are palletised. However, after forklift training (provided if you don’t already hold a licence), you may occasionally be asked to unload your vehicle.
If you’re ready to get on the road and join a dedicated team, we’d love to hear from you!
