Hgv Class 2 Driver

HGV Class 2 Driver Fleets stay moving when the right tyres arrive in the right condition, on the promised day. This role puts a skilled rigid–HGV driver at the centre of that promise: collecting casings, delivering quality retreads, and giving workshops and transport managers a delivery they can plan around. Done well, every run protects uptime, cuts wasted miles, and keeps a circular tyre supply chain working. Performance Objectives Complete planned multi–drop routes on time, with delivery and collection paperwork accurate enough that customers and the depot do not need a follow–up call. Load, secure, and unload tyres and related fleet products without damage, shortages, or unsafe manual handling. Return vehicles and trailers of equipment roadworthy: daily walkaround checks completed, defects reported before they become breakdowns, and tachograph and hours rules observed without exception. Represent the service on the customer yard confirm quantities, note access or product issues, and escalate urgent fleet needs the same day. Hit agreed collection targets for usable casings so retread production is not starved of material. Keep fuel, idle time, and avoidable damage inside team standards, and close each shift with a clear handover for the next run. Environment & Resources You will work from a UK tyre–distribution depot alongside planners, warehouse colleagues, and a transport lead, serving commercial fleets and tyre outlets. The role uses well–maintained rigid HGVs, on–board recording, and a delivery schedule set with you not dumped on you. Routing support, load plans, and a clear defect–reporting line are in place so you can focus on safe, complete runs. Essential Qualifications Full UK Category C (HGV Class 2) licence and a current Driver CPC, with the right to work and drive professionally in the UK. A clean, explainable driving record and recent rigid–vehicle experience on multi–drop or industrial delivery work. Confident daily vehicle checks, load security, and digital or analogue tachograph use within drivers hours. Physical ability to handle tyres safely, with a practical approach to manual handling and yard safety. Clear communication with planners and customers, and a habit of accurate counts and paperwork. Role Selling Points Work that is easy to explain and hard to fake: tyres delivered, casings recovered, fleets kept rolling. A long–standing retread and fleet–service operation, not a one–contract haulage desk. Daytime, depot–based runs with known customers rather than anonymous trunking. A practical team that measures success by on–time, damage–free deliveries not by how many hours you can absorb.
