HGV Class 1 (CE) Driver Tramping (Self-Employed)
Waiting List Open Structured Operation High Standards
We operate a structured, professionally managed haulage operation with clear systems, planning, and communication.
Rather than urgent or volume recruitment, we maintain a priority waiting list for experienced self-employed HGV Class 1 drivers who want long-term, predictable work within a calm and well-run tramping operation.
This opportunity suits drivers who value:
Structure and routine
Clear communication and planning
Well-prepared vehicles
A calm, professional working environment
If you are looking for casual work, short-term placements, or loosely managed operations, this role will not be the right fit.

360 cameras and reversing cameras
