Due to continued growth, we are looking for a Class 1 HGV Nightshift Tramping Driver to join our expanding trunking operation.
As a leading fine food wholesaler, our trunk drivers play a vital role in moving products between our four sites across England. Southbound journeys primarily service our own network, while northbound journeys involve moving freight for our pallet network partners. Our head office is based in Scotland, with all trunking operations running from there.
Unlike many transport operations, our fleet is focused on servicing our own business. We do not undertake much third-party haulage or traction work.
What We Offer
- Monday to Friday working pattern
- Rotational tramping schedule: 6 nights, 4 nights, 4 nights
- 30 days annual leave
- £26 per night away allowance
- Your own dedicated vehicle
- Company uniform and PPE provided
Driver Welfare
We are committed to ensuring our drivers have access to safe and secure facilities while away from home. All overnight stops are booked at SNAP-approved truck stops, meaning:
- No overnight parking in lay-bys
- Access to toilets and washing facilities
- More secure parking locations
- Improved driver comfort and safety
The Role
- Night trunking operations between company sites
- Collection of pallet network freight on northbound routes
- Maintaining high standards of vehicle presentation
- Keeping your allocated vehicle clean and tidy, both inside and out
- Delivering excellent standards of professionalism and safety
Requirements
- Valid Class 1 (C+E) licence
- Driver CPC qualification
- Digital tachograph card
- Good understanding of drivers' hours and working time regulations
- A professional and reliable approach to work
If you're looking for a stable Monday to Friday tramping role with a company that values its drivers and invests in their welfare, we'd love to hear from you.
