You just need the right attitude and in return you’ll enjoy some of the great things that come from being part of our team…

A fantastic starting salary…

Depending on driving experience, you could start on a salary of £21,000 per year (£10.39 per hour). Plus, there are always opportunities for overtime to boost your earnings.

And a £500 Welcome Bonus!!

Full time or part time hours…

You won’t see any zero-hour contracts as our people deserve to know exactly what hours they will be working and how much they’ll be earning each week. You can work either full time, where you’ll be contracted to 39 hours per week, or if you're a current PCV holder, you can also choose to work part time. The choice is yours.

Enjoy the variety…

You won’t get bored staring at the same four walls in this job, as each day brings something new. Our driver teams are the heartbeat of the great towns and cities they serve, providing an essential service in helping to keep our customers moving. You’ll be meeting loads of new people and making a difference to their day. 

Be a part of something…

Our drivers love the atmosphere in the depot – a great team environment where colleagues become friends. Some employees have been with us for 25, 30 and even 40 years and really enjoy feeling part of one big family. And if you’re the ambitious type, it’s worth knowing that some of our most senior managers started off as drivers...
