Experienced Class 2 Multi-Drop Driver Wanted

Drivers Today are recruiting an experienced HGV Class 2 / Category C Multi-Drop Driver for a well-established specialist pallet distribution operation in the Newcastle-under-Lyme / Longport area.

This is regular, long-term work for a driver who knows pallet-network multi-drop and is comfortable completing a busy delivery round.

You’ll predominantly be delivering throughout Cheshire and Warrington (CW WA postcodes), with routes organised into local postcode areas rather than unnecessarily spread-out drops.

The Work Includes

• HGV Class 2 / Category C driving
• Multi-drop pallet deliveries
• Mainly CW and WA postcode areas
• 18-tonne curtain-sided vehicles
• Tail-lift deliveries
• Electric and manual pump-truck operation
• Deliveries to businesses and shops
• Some residential deliveries
• Customer and pallet-network collections
• Curtain operation and load security
• Delivery paperwork

Working Hours

Monday to Friday

07:30 starts

Day work

Approximately 45 hours per week

This is a long-term position, so we’re looking for someone who wants regular work rather than occasional agency shifts.

Experience Is Important for This One

This isn’t suitable for someone completely new to Class 2 multi-drop work.

We’re Looking For

• Minimum 12 months' HGV Class 2 multi-drop experience
• Valid Category C / HGV Class 2 licence
• Driver CPC
• Digital Tachograph Card
• Previous pallet-network experience
• Curtain-side experience
• Tail-lift experience
• Confident using manual and electric pump trucks
• Good knowledge of load security
• Careful and professional driving style
• Good timekeeping and reliability
• Good customer-facing manner

Counterbalance FLT Experience/licence Would Be Useful But Isn’t Essential.

Regular Work With a Familiar Route

For an experienced multi-drop driver, this offers the advantage of getting to know the same operation, delivery areas and customers rather than constantly changing assignments.
