Job description

We are recruiting experienced HGV Class 1 (C+E) Drivers for a well-known transport company in the North West region, operating from its customer's site in Golborne.

This is an excellent opportunity for drivers looking for regular day work, straightforward deliveries and the opportunity to move into a permanent position.

The Work

Approximately 90% of deliveries are side-tip deliveries, with the majority of the fleet consisting of curtain-side trailers.

The loads consist of empty plastic bottles, meaning the pallets are very lightweight.

A small number of customers require deliveries to be tipped through the rear doors. Some pump-truck work may be required for these deliveries; however, due to the nature of the product, there is very limited weight involved.

• Day shifts
• Start times between 04:30 and 06:00, depending on the first scheduled delivery
• Average working day of approximately 9-10 hours
• Local and long-distance routes
• Regular work available

Pay

£17.50 - £20.50 per hour, depending on shift/day worked.

Requirements

• Valid HGV Class 1 (C+E) licence
• Valid Driver CPC
• Valid Digital Tachograph Card
• Previous Class 1 driving experience
• Good understanding of drivers' hours and tachograph regulations
• Comfortable using a pump truck when required
• Reliable and professional approach
• Good communication and time-management skills

What We Offer

• £17.50 - £20.50 per hour
• Average 9-10 hour shifts
• Regular day work
• Predominantly curtain-side work
• Lightweight loads
• Combination of local and distance work
• Established transport operation
• Long-term opportunity for suitable drivers
