Job Description
Salary Details: £21ph
Galaxy Personnel are currently recruiting for Class 1 (Category C+E) Night Trunk Drivers, responsible for transporting heavy goods between major distribution hubs, depots, or warehouses during night-time hours.
Unlike multi-drop delivery, trunking typically involves long-distance driving with very few stops—often just one or two per shift—and minimal to no manual loading or unloading of the vehicle
Core Responsibilities:
Trunking Runs: Driving large articulated vehicles between a home depot and a central hub or Regional Distribution Centre (RDC).
Minimal Manual Handling: Most roles are "drop and swap" or "tip and turn," where trailers are loaded and unloaded by warehouse teams.
Vehicle Checks: Conducting mandatory daily pre-departure and post-shift safety inspections (tyres, brakes, lights) and reporting any defects to the transport manager.
Legal Compliance: Strictly adhering to UK Driver’s Hours and Working Time Directive (WTD) regulations, including managing tachograph records.
Route Planning: Navigating efficiently on quieter night roads, while remaining flexible to use alternative routes if diversions or accidents occur.
Skills Required
Qualifications: A valid Driver Qualification Card (CPC) and a Digital Tachograph Card. 24 months of professional Class 1 driving experience.
Record: Typically no more than 6 penalty points for minor offences (no major endorsements)
Qualifications Required
Essential Requirements:
Experience: minimum 6 month driving experience
Licence: Full UK HGV Class 1 (Category C+E) driving licence.
