Description
About Cargo Express
Cargo Express is a recognised market leader in UK and European logistics, providing dependable transport solutions. Our name is built on trust, precision, and performance — and our people are the foundation of that success.
We don’t just move goods; we deliver confidence, reliability, and service excellence. Our drivers are the face of that promise, and we treat them with the same respect and professionalism we give our clients.
The Role
We are expanding our professional driver team and seeking HGV Class 1 (C+E) Day Drivers who take pride in their work, value structure, and want a stable, well-managed environment.
You’ll enjoy predictable days, regular start times, and a professional operation that’s run the right way, where trucks are looked after, communication is clear, and you’re treated like part of a team, not a number.
This role involves a mix of local deliveries, shunting work, and short runs within the UK, ideal for drivers who want variety without the endless motorway miles or nights out.
Why Drive for Cargo Express?
✔ Work-Life Balance That Works
• Daytime shifts: Regular start times provided.
• Monday to Friday: No nights away, no weekends unless you want the extra hours.
• Predictable routine: Regular patterns, same depots, and well-planned routes.
✔ Professional Environment, Not Chaos
• Dedicated trucks: You’ll be assigned your own well-maintained vehicle — clean, reliable, and familiar.
• Organised planning: Our traffic office is known for its clear communication and structure.
• Industry-leading clients: Primarily in the automotive sector — stable work, consistent standards.
✔ A Company That Invests in You
Supportive management – approachable, experienced, and focused on making your day smooth.
Full uniform & PPE provided – professional presentation backed by quality gear.
Ongoing driver development – CPC support, compliance refreshers, and progression opportunities.
Key Responsibilities
Maintain clear communication with the operations team and represent Cargo Express positively on every site.
Safely operate HGV Class 1 vehicles to transport goods between customer sites and depots.
Conduct work as required.
Complete pre- and post-vehicle checks to the highest standards.
Ensure timely deliveries while maintaining compliance and professionalism.
Keep your vehicle clean and road-ready at all times.
What We’re Looking For
Full Category C+E Licence and Driver CPC (required).
Minimum 12 months Class 1 driving experience preferred, but attitude and professionalism are key.
Strong understanding of UK road transport regulations and driver hours.
Positive mindset — calm under pressure, dependable, and safety-conscious.
Clean driving record (up to six points are considered).
What You’ll Get
Genuine long-term stability and progression opportunities.
£15.75 – £22.75 per hour (depending on shift).
Regular day shifts – predictable hours, consistent earnings.
Health & Wellbeing support programme.
Full uniform and company-branded kit.
What Makes Cargo Express Different
We’re not a start-stop agency operation — we’re a well-run logistics business with long-term customers, proper planning, and a team built on reliability.
You’ll know where you stand, be treated with respect, and be trusted to do your job the right way. If you take pride in driving well, being on time, and representing a professional brand, you’ll fit right in.
Ready to Take the Wheel?
If you’re ready for a driving job that values your skill, gives you stability, and gets you home every evening — apply today and join a business that drives standards, not just trucks.
