DRIVERS' HOURS & WORKING-TIME COMPLIANCE
The role is advertised on the basis of a minimum scheduled pattern of 10 hours per day, Monday–Friday, with pay calculations based on 50 paid hours per week.
Working hours, breaks, rest periods, driving time, tachograph requirements and other working time will be managed in accordance with applicable drivers' hours, tachograph and working-time legislation.
The advertised 50-hour working week does not override statutory drivers' hours, rest-period or working-time requirements. Where applicable, working time will be managed in accordance with the rules governing mobile workers in road transport.
The 50-hour figure is therefore the basis for calculating the indicative annual gross earnings and does not require a driver to exceed any statutory driving or working-time limits.
DRIVING RECORD & REFERENCES
Employer references will be required.
Applicants must provide accurate information regarding their driving history and relevant employment record and declare relevant:
- Accidents and driving incidents.
- Convictions and penalty points.
- Insurance claims.
All accidents or incidents involving an insurance claim within the previous 5 years must be declared during the recruitment process.
Applications will be assessed individually, including candidates with less tipper experience where they demonstrate suitable HGV experience, competence, reliability and a strong safety record.
