JT Recruit Ltd About the role
Location: Derby (DE24)
Pay: £16.00 per hour (paid weekly, every Friday)
Hours: Monday to Friday | Regular starts between 06:00-08:00
We are looking for an experienced and reliable Class 2 Driver to join a well-established transport company based in Derby. This is a temp to perm opportunity, meaning that after 12 weeks you will have the chance to secure a permanent position within a respected business that values its drivers. This role is focused on Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) deliveries only. That means no multi-drop work and no heavy lifting just steady, straightforward driving with a company that runs a modern, well-maintained fleet.
Why This Job Stands Out
- No multi-drop, no handball focus on what you do best, driving.
- Consistent start times between 06:00-08:00, no unexpected changes.
- Monday to Friday working pattern with weekends off (overtime available if wanted).
- Excellent hourly rate of £17.00, paid weekly.
- Long-term job security permanent position available after 12 weeks for the right driver.
- Friendly and supportive transport team who know their drivers by name, not just number.
- Modern, well-serviced vehicles to make your workday easier and safer.
What the Role Involves
- Starting your shift from the Derby depot at a set time each morning.
- Collecting goods and completing deliveries to Regional Distribution Centers.
- Driving pre-planned routes that are straightforward and manageable.
- Handling paperwork accurately and keeping to driver compliance regulations.
- Returning to depot and finishing your shift in good time.
This role offers consistency and routine, with the added benefit of being part of a business that treats drivers fairly and with respect.
What We Expect From You
- HGV Class 2 (Category C) license.
- Valid CPC and Digi Tacho Card.
- A minimum of 2 years Class 2 driving experience.
- A solid understanding of driver hours, road safety, and compliance.
- A professional, reliable, and positive approach to work.
Why Choose This Company?
This transport business has built a strong reputation for looking after its drivers and creating long-term opportunities. Many drivers who start on a temporary basis progress to permanent roles, staying with the company because of the consistent hours, good pay, and the way they are treated with respect. If you are looking for a stable, well-paid driving role with the potential to build a career in a company that values its team, this opportunity is ideal.
