One of our family‑run clients based in Bradford is looking to add another Class 1 Night Driver to their team to help cover extra work, holidays and sickness. This is an ongoing opportunity with work typically available 1-2 nights per week, most commonly Monday and Friday nights. There will also be opportunities to cover full weeks during planned holidays, making this an ideal role for drivers looking to top up their income with regular agency work. Typical start times will vary depending on the run, with shifts generally lasting 10-12 hours.
What will you be doing?
- Delivering to a pallet hub before tipping, reloading and returning to the depot.
- Meeting other drivers to complete trailer swaps.
- Completing all delivery paperwork accurately throughout your shift.
- Carrying out daily vehicle checks and ensuring loads are secure before departing.
One thing our night drivers always mention about this client is how well organised the operation is. One driver told us: "It's easy work. You're properly briefed before you head out, then you're trusted to get on with the job. Nobody's checking up on you every ten minutes, and everything's paperwork-based rather than done through apps, which makes the nights run really smoothly." Drivers also appreciate the relaxed, professional approach. Once you've been given your instructions, you're left to do what you do best, with the office always available if you need any support.
