HGV Class 2 Driver – Temp to Perm

Location: Derby (DE24)
Pay: £16.00 per hour (paid weekly, every Friday)
Hours: Monday to Friday | Regular starts between 06:00–08:00

About the Job

We are looking for an experienced and reliable Class 2 Driver to join a well-established transport company based in Derby. This is a temp to perm opportunity, meaning that after 12 weeks you will have the chance to secure a permanent position within a respected business that values its drivers.

This role is focused on Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) deliveries only. That means no multi-drop work and no heavy lifting – just steady, straightforward driving with a company that runs a modern, well-maintained fleet.

Why This Job Stands Out

  • No multi-drop, no handball – focus on what you do best, driving.

  • Consistent start times between 06:00–08:00, no unexpected changes.

  • Monday to Friday working pattern with weekends off (overtime available if wanted).

  • Excellent hourly rate of £17.00, paid weekly.

  • Long-term job security – permanent position available after 12 weeks for the right driver.

  • Friendly and supportive transport team who know their drivers by name, not just number.

  • Modern, well-serviced vehicles to make your workday easier and safer.

What the Role Involves

  • Starting your shift from the Derby depot at a set time each morning.

  • Collecting goods and completing deliveries to Regional Distribution Centers.

  • Driving pre-planned routes that are straightforward and manageable.

  • Handling paperwork accurately and keeping to driver compliance regulations.

  • Returning to depot and finishing your shift in good time.

This role offers consistency and routine, with the added benefit of being part of a business that treats drivers fairly and with respect.

What We Expect From You

  • HGV Class 2 (Category C) license.

  • Valid CPC and Digi Tacho Card.

  • A minimum of 2 years’ Class 2 driving experience.

  • A solid understanding of driver hours, road safety, and compliance.

  • A professional, reliable, and positive approach to work.

Why Choose This Company?

This transport business has built a strong reputation for looking after its drivers and creating long-term opportunities. Many drivers who start on a temporary basis progress to permanent roles, staying with the company because of the consistent hours, good pay, and the way they are treated with respect.

If you are looking for a stable, well-paid driving role with the potential to build a career in a company that values its team, this opportunity is ideal.
