We operate a busy fleet, with additional hours available and enhanced rates of pay for bank holidays. You\'ll join a friendly team who support each other, including sharing traffic updates through WhatsApp.
Key Role Responsibilities
* We don\'t micromanage our drivers. We trust them to plan their own routes.

* Scanning consignments and driving pallet trucks will sometimes be part of your day.
* Inspect your vehicle and trailer daily and complete a Defect Report if necessary.
* Ensure everything is \'right first time\' for customers, both internal and external. As a great communicator, work to keep customers happy and pass on any unresolved queries to your site manager quickly.
