  • Free onsite parking

  • Onsite canteen facilities

  • Immediate starts available


What You’ll Need
  • Valid 7.5t (C1) licence held for minimum 2 years

  • 180 days proven commercial driving experience

  • Driver CPC and Digital Tachograph Card

  • Maximum 6 penalty points (no DD, DR, IN, CD, or TT endorsements)

  • Good knowledge of driver hours & WTD rules

  • Comfortable with manual tachograph entries

  • Professional and reliable approach to night work
