  • Cooperate fully with the driver debrief procedure and undertake any other duties as directed by the Shift Management team

It is essential that you hold a current LGV Class 2 driving licence and a valid CPC card. Applications from newly qualified Drivers welcome. We look forward to you joining the BEST team!
