Job Description
HGV Class 1 & 2 Drivers
The following information aims to provide potential candidates with a better understanding of the requirements for this role.
Are you an experienced HGV Driver looking for regular hours, modern vehicles and a company you can actually settle into? Hold a Class 1 licence but happy to drive a Class 2 vehicle? You'll still earn the full Class 1 salary!
365 People are recruiting 2x HGV Drivers for a specialist equipment manufacturer looking for reliable drivers who take pride in their work.
This is a small, close knit business where attitude matters just as much as experience. They're not looking for someone to fill a seat for a few weeks – they want drivers who will become part of the team long term.
Positions: HGV Class 1 & Class 2 Drivers
Class 1 Salary: £42,900 per annum
Class 2 Pay: £14.50 per hour
Hours: Monday–Friday | 06:00–16:00 | 50 hours per week
Contract: Permanent or Temp-to-Perm
What will you actually be doing? This isn't your typical RDC to RDC driving job.
You'll be delivering specialist attachments and equipment to customers across the UK, operating modern 2024 plate automatic flatbed vehicles.
Typically 1–2 deliveries per day, occasionally up to 7–8 depending on the route.
Deliveries covering Birmingham, Milton Keynes, Liverpool, Peterborough and surrounding areas.
Occasional longer distance runs, including Newcastle.
Loading and unloading equipment using a forklift.
Securing loads using ratchet straps, brackets and bolts.
Some manual handling and customer interaction.
Some days you'll have one longer distance delivery. Other days you might complete a couple of shorter runs.
And here's the best part...
Although the company operates Class 2 flatbed vehicles, they ideally want drivers who hold a Class 1 licence.
If you hold a Class 1 licence, you'll receive the full £42,900 Class 1 salary, even when driving a Class 2 vehicle.
What's in it for you? £42,900 annual salary for Class 1 licence holders.
£14.50 per hour for Class 2 licence holders.
Monday–Friday working, 06:00–16:00.
25 days annual leave.
Christmas shutdown.
Quarterly company profit-related bonus following probation.
Modern automatic flatbed vehicles.
Permanent or temp-to-perm opportunities.
Long-term stability within a friendly, close-knit team.
What kind of driver are they looking for? Ideally, you'll have previous flatbed experience and know your way around ratchet straps and securing loads.
An FLT licence would be advantageous, as the role involves loading and unloading equipment.
You'll also need:
Valid HGV Class 1 or Class 2 licence.
Valid CPC and Digital Tachograph Card.
A good understanding of load security.
A polite, professional and customer-focused attitude.
A willingness to get involved with the physical side of the job.
More than anything, they want someone reliable, hardworking and looking for somewhere to stay long-term.
If you're the type of driver who takes pride in doing a job properly, turns up on time and wants to be part of a company that values its drivers, this could be a great fit.

I'll talk you through the company, vehicles, routes and expectations properly before putting you forward. xrexnqw
No endless RDC waiting times, no regular weekend work – just a solid Monday–Friday driving opportunity with a company looking for the right people.
