Trunking HGV/LGV 1

Please note that this position is open to UK applicants only

Job Description

Looking for well-paid Class 1 work without handballing? We’re recruiting experienced HGV Class 1 Drivers for an established transport operation, offering regular weekday work, straightforward depot-to-depot trunking and approximately 55 hours per week.

If you prefer spending your day driving rather than completing multi-drop deliveries or manual unloading, this could be an excellent opportunity to secure reliable weekly hours.

You’ll be responsible for transporting loads safely between depots, completing regional and national trunking routes using curtain-sided trailers.

The role is focused on straightforward depot-to-depot driving, with loading and unloading completed by forklift, meaning no manual handling or handballing is required.

You’ll be expected to complete your allocated routes efficiently, carry out daily vehicle checks and ensure all journeys are completed in line with road transport and working time regulations.
