A family-run haulier working out of Twyford, near Reading, since the 1950s, with a modern, well-kept fleet and we're growing. Our trucks have delivered everywhere from London building sites to Buckingham Palace and Downing Street, and we're after another Class 2 driver to help us do it.
The work
- Building materials, palletised goods, scaffolding and steel from our Twyford depot to sites across London and the South of England.
- Rigids up to 32 tonnes, flatbed and curtainside, with Hiab and Moffett offloads on site for the right tickets.
- Proper professional haulage no multi-drop.
- Day work, home every night, bar the occasional paid UK night out when the job needs it.
- Mostly Monday-Friday, 10-hour shifts, with overtime there for those who want it.
What you'll need
- Class 2 (C) licence, valid Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.
- A Hiab or Moffett ticket is ideal, and paid accordingly; FORS training is a huge plus.
- Hold your C+E as well, or have wagon & drag experience? Even better that's paid accordingly too, and there's drawbar and artic work to move into when you're ready.
- To live within about 45 minutes of our Twyford depot (RG10); the days can be long enough without a big commute on top.
- Comfortable in and around London, and reliable, professional and polite; you're the face of Bennetts on every site.
What we offer
- £38,000-£42,000 basic depending on experience; top of the local market for Class 2 work plus plenty of overtime, because we never run short of it.
- Genuine progression: this is the seat our Class 1 drivers started in. We regularly put Class 2 drivers through their Class 1, and through Hiab, Moffett and lorry-loader tickets.
- Paid training kept current: ALLMI Hiab, Moffett, FORS, Driver CPC.
- A modern, well-maintained fleet; we look after our trucks like we look after our drivers.
- 28 days' holiday (inc. bank holidays), workplace pension, full PPE and free on-site parking.
- A family-run firm; you'll know everyone's name and they'll know yours.
Whether you've got years behind the wheel or you passed your test last month, what matters most to us is attitude. Don't tick every box? Apply anyway; we'll talk training. Full-time or part-time: if a shorter week suits you better, say so when you call.
