Job description
You will be pulling flatbed trailers loaded with sawn timber, precast concrete, brick and block, or steel. These are normally full loads (one drop) to builders merchants or direct to construction sites across the UK, from the highlands of Scotland to the Southcoast of England.
Typically, once you have made a delivery, you will drop the empty trailer at a customer's yard, hook up to a loaded trailer, strap the load, then use the rest of your time to drive north or south, ready for the next days' delivery.
Drivers are left alone to focus on their work when possible. So if everything is going to plan you will be left to get on with the job.
As a tramper driver you will work Monday to Friday, working between 58 and 65 hours a week.
None of our customers are open on a Saturday or Sunday but there is the opportunity to go away on a Sunday if you want extra hours.
All drivers are given training on their first week to help familiarise themselves with customer sites and to ensure they understand how to safely secure loads.
We have our own truck washes at Lockerbie and Longtown, and we have diesel and AdBlue pumps, so truck can be washed and fueled with ease. xwzovoh
