We're a 90-year-old family haulier that has hauled Britain's goods since 1934, still family-run, and still investing in the fleet and the people who drive it.
We've had a strong run of contract wins and the fleet is growing with it, which means we've got a genuinely interesting pool of work to place you in; days, tramping or flat work, across our depots in the East of England. That mix lets us find the right routes and the right working week for you, rather than pushing you onto whatever's left on the board.
Zero-hours and flexi working weeks also available on request, if that suits your life better.
This isn't agency-style hauling. No agency drivers have been used here in over six years, and when you're on holiday your truck is covered by one of our employed relief drivers or apprentices, not a stranger from a different yard every week. You'll get your own assigned unit, you'll learn the customers, and the customers will learn you.
The numbers. £38,500 – £47,000 a year, on a guaranteed 40 hours with an average working week of 55 hours. That's £16.50 an hour including a £5.00 daily tax-free meal allowance (equivalent to 50p an hour), with overtime, nights out and weekends available on top.
What we're looking for. A valid C+E licence and CPC, a clean'ish record, and the kind of attitude that fits a family business; dependable, methodical, and good with customers.
What you'll get. Your own assigned unit, full uniform and PPE, company pension, overtime premiums, ongoing CPC training, and a social calendar that includes Truckfest, BBQs and family fun days.
