Company: Browns Distribution Services Ltd
Apply for the 7.5 Tonne HGV Driver
Location: Stoke on Trent
Job Description:

£14.30 per hour | 40 hours | Monday-Friday | Local routes | Own Vehicle

Looking for a driving job where you’re home every night and know what you’re getting each week?

We’re looking for a 7.5 Tonne driver to join our team, collecting and delivering palletised freight across the ST and CW1-2 postcodes.

This is a local day role. No nights out and no long-haul trips. You’ll be out on the road each day representing Browns and making sure our local customers get the reliable service they rely on.

You’ll have 40 guaranteed hours Monday-Friday, starting from 7:30am, with the occasional Saturday morning.

What you’ll earn

  • £14.30 per hour
  • 40 hours guaranteed Monday-Friday
  • Quarterly Performance Bonus up to £200
  • £300 Annual Retention/Performance Bonus
  • Opportunities for overtime and weekend work if you want to earn more

The job

A typical day will see you heading out from our Stoke-on-Trent depot to make multi-drop pallet deliveries across the local area.

You’ll use a tail lift and electric pump truck to make deliveries, followed by local customer collections before heading back to base.

We trust our drivers to get on with the job. You’ll have the independence to manage your day, backed by an experienced transport team when you need them.

We’ve invested in the technology you use on the road too. Our new driver app keeps your next job clear, reduces paperwork and sends job changes straight to your device. It works offline when the signal drops, and the traffic office is only one tap away when you need them.

More than a truck and a payslip

We want Browns to be somewhere good drivers want to stay, which means building a respectful team culture where drivers feel valued, listened to and supported.

In addition to your pay package, you’ll get:

  • An extra holiday for every year you stay with us, up to 33 days
  • A dedicated Driver Training Manager
  • A dedicated Driver Representative, giving drivers a voice within the business
  • Funded Driver CPC
  • Funded eye tests & medicals
  • Funded driver card renewals
  • Ongoing in-house training
  • Opportunities to progress

What you’ll need

  • Class 2 (C) Driving Licence
  • Valid Driver CPC
  • 1+ year HGV driving experience

Why Browns?

Browns is a third-generation transport and warehousing business that’s been moving freight since 1955.

Today, we operate more than 70 trucks and 140 trailers across the UK from our Stoke-on-Trent base, and we’re continuing to grow.

We’re big enough to offer modern trucks, new technology and plenty of work, but still family-run. We want our drivers to have the independence to do their job properly, the support they need when they need it, and to be known by their name, not their truck number.
