Van, 7.5 tonne and Class 1 work across the UK. We would rather tell you honestly what a role involves and lose you at the interview than have you leave after three weeks because it was not what you were told.

FAQ

Driver questions

UK-wide coverage: own van fleet, working across the UK
Do you have vacancies right now?

It varies week to week, so rather than publish a list that goes stale we would rather you send your details and we will tell you honestly what we have. Speculative applications are genuinely welcome, and we keep them on file rather than deleting them.

Do you take newly qualified drivers?

For van work, yes. For Class 1 it depends on the role and on insurance, which is the real constraint rather than our preference. Tell us what you hold and how long you have held it and we will be straight with you.

Is the work agency or employed?

We are recruiting for our own fleet. If you own your own vehicle and want subcontract work instead, that runs through our subcontractors page and is a different arrangement.

What are the hours?

It depends on the role. Van and multi drop work is generally day work with predictable finish times. Class 1 work includes night trunking and tramping on some routes. We will tell you which before you accept, not after.

Will I be tramping?

Only on roles where we say so up front. Plenty of our work is day work and home every night, which is exactly why some drivers come to us.
