About this role

GET OFF THE MULTI-DROP TREADMILL – SIMPLE NIGHT TRUNKING, NO HANDBALL and EXCELLENT PAY

We're currently recruiting experienced HGV Class 1 Night Drivers on behalf of a long-established and highly regarded transport business. As a founding member of the Pallet Track network, our client has built an outstanding reputation within the palletised freight sector, operating a modern fleet and delivering reliable logistics solutions across the UK.

This is an ideal opportunity for drivers seeking straightforward, stress-free trunking work with minimal physical demands. Your main responsibility will be completing a scheduled nightly run to the Pallet Track National Distribution Centre in Wolverhampton, where you'll exchange trailers before returning to the depot. With all loading and unloading handled by site personnel, there is no manual handling involved, allowing you to focus solely on safe and efficient driving.

Offering regular routes and a predictable workload, this position is perfect for drivers who enjoy routine, consistency, and the stability of dedicated night work. You'll play an important role in maintaining the smooth flow of freight through one of the UK's leading pallet networks while working within a professional and well-organised operation.

Drivers will be expected to complete daily vehicle safety checks, comply with all driver hours and transport regulations, follow company procedures at all times, and ensure transport documentation is completed accurately throughout each shift.

To be considered for this opportunity, applicants must meet the following requirements

  • Hold a valid HGV Class 1 (C+E) Driving Licence
  • Possess a current Digital Tachograph Card
  • Hold a valid Driver CPC qualification
  • Have no more than 6 penalty points on their driving licence

Whether you're a seasoned Class 1 Driver with years of experience or have recently gained your entitlement and are looking to build your career, we'd love to hear from you. Previous experience within a transport or pallet distribution environment would be advantageous, but it's not essential, as comprehensive training and ongoing support will be provided.

We're looking for enthusiastic, dependable, and professional drivers who take pride in their work. Successful candidates will demonstrate a strong commitment to safety, compliance, and customer service, alongside a positive attitude and willingness to learn. If you're reliable, motivated, and eager to establish yourself within a respected transport operation, this could be the perfect opportunity to take your driving career to the next level.

Secure a full-time night driving position with ongoing work available week after week, offering consistent start times, dependable weekly hours, and a steady workload all year round. This role provides the stability and security that many drivers are looking for, with long-term opportunities within a well-established transport operation. For drivers who demonstrate reliability and commitment, there may also be the opportunity to secure a permanent position, making this an excellent chance to build a rewarding and lasting career within the logistics industry.

Working Monday to Friday on night shifts, with start times typically from 18:00 each evening, this role offers the consistency and structure that professional drivers value. With fixed trunking routes, predictable workloads, and reliable weekly hours, drivers can enjoy a stable working routine and dependable earnings week after week. Best of all, with no weekend commitments, you'll benefit from an excellent work-life balance while securing ongoing work with a respected and well-established transport operation.
