Full Training Provided

You don't need previous experience in poultry feed deliveries, as up to one month of training is provided.

Training will include:

• Week 1: Working in the cab alongside an experienced driver, learning routes and delivery points. Approximately 30% of the week will involve driving, with the remaining time spent as a passenger.
• Weeks 2–4: Working in convoy, normally alongside two other vehicles and always with at least one other driver. Detailed training on the correct delivery of poultry feed. Specific procedures for delivering feed into metal silos. Strict procedures to prevent cross-contamination, which is extremely important within the business.
• It is very unusual for a single vehicle to attend a delivery. Where only one vehicle is required, the company generally sends one of its most experienced drivers.
