Join to apply for the HGV Class 1 Driver (4/4 Days + Nights Out) role at Lockwood Group.
Base pay range
Are you a HGV driver looking for consistent tramping work and the freedom to manage your own day? Join The Lockwood Group, a dynamic family-run business with a state-of-the-art fleet and a focus on driver autonomy. We're looking for professional HGV Class 1 drivers to join our team on a 4 on 4 off plus nights out shift basis. We understand that being a driver means wanting to get the job done without being constantly chased, and we trust our team to do just that. With us, you'll always have a consistent workload and the independence you need to succeed. We're proud to be a DVSA Earned Recognition operator and have recently invested in our fleet with 100 new trailers. You'll be driving a modern, well-maintained 74-plate MAN TGX out of our Caldicot depot.
Your Earnings & Benefits
* Total potential earnings of up to £40,000 per year (including driver performance bonus and nights out)
* Basic pay: £32,396.00
* Nights out paid at £36.20 per night when staying in a secure approved location
* Graded driver performance bonus worth up to £2,400.00 per year
* 20 days annual leave
* Workplace pension and full uniform/PPE provided
The Role
You'll be part of our general haulage team on a 4 on 4 off shift, running out of the depot on your first shift and returning on your last. While you will be around the country, you'll have the independence to manage your journey effectively. You'll be delivering a variety of goods on curtain-sided trailers, with our main focus on food products and food manufacturing packaging.
We'll equip you with the latest technology, including electronic POD devices and digital walk-around checks, so you have everything you need to get the job done efficiently.
Security and Peace of Mind
We know that safety and security on the road are a top priority. That's why we use the SNAP parking system for convenient and secure overnight stops. As a bonus, we also provide an additional nightly payment for parking at a Lockwood Group depot, offering the extra security of our own premises for our own fleet. There's nothing worse than having your curtains slashed or your diesel stolen, and we do everything we can to prevent it.
What We Offer
* Career progression: Experienced drivers can be trained as a driver mentor or trainer, with additional financial incentives.
* Funded CPC training and opportunities for licenses for ADR, FLT, and more to help you advance your career.
* A well-presented, modern fleet.
* Access to our recently refurbished on-site facilities and free on-site parking
Who We're Looking For
We welcome applications from newly passed HGV Class 1 drivers as well as experienced professionals. You'll be a fully qualified Class 1 (C+E) driver with a valid CPC and Digi card. Most importantly, we're looking for individuals with great communication skills and a professional, problem-solving approach. Our team of driver assessors and mentors will provide full training and guidance.
