About the Role
This 18T HGV Driver role involves working directly for our customer, on contract. Our client will be your point of contact for all operational work; however, we will be your point of contact should you have any issues with the truck or what the customer is asking of you. Nights out will be a part of this job. We are looking for experienced multi drop drivers ONLY.
Outline of the Work
This logistics role is based out of our customer's site off Oliver Road in Grays, aiming to be at your first job for 8am Monday to Friday with nights out. Customers try to route you to the same areas where possible, helping you get to know the customers and the quickest routes. If you return to the depot after completing your run and the customer asks you to do something further within your 11 hours, you'll be expected to carry out this work (this isn't regular but worth noting). A typical Class 2 long distance driver will complete approximately 6-8 deliveries/collections per day and work around 12-13 hours per day on average.
Essential Skills and Qualifications
- Must be keen, efficient and have sound safe working practices
- ADR licence in packages is beneficial but not required
- Always be conscious of the health and safety of yourself and the people around you
- Valid digital tacho
- Up-to-date CPC Card
This 18T HGV Driver role involves palletised transport work, doing multiple deliveries or collections per day to commercial premises across the UK. Each morning, you'll be expected to put your card in, do your walk-round checks, go to the office to get your consignments for the day (or continue on from secure parking via SNAP account), check your load, secure it as necessary, and commence driving — calling ahead to your first customer to advise an ETA where possible.
