We are recruiting experienced HGV Class 1 (C+E) Drivers for a well-known transport company in the North West region, operating from its customer's site in Golborne.

The Work

Approximately 90% of deliveries are side-tip deliveries, with the majority of the fleet consisting of curtain-side trailers.

The loads consist of empty plastic bottles, meaning the pallets are very lightweight.

A small number of customers require deliveries to be tipped through the rear doors. Some pump-truck work may be required for these deliveries; however, due to the nature of the product, there is very limited weight involved.
