Class 1 HGV Tramper Driver - Flatbed Work

Based from our Longtown yard and Lockerbie yard.

We operate a modern fleet of DAFs, Scanias and Ivecos, all our trucks are less than 4 years old. We are flatbed specialists, we take pride in our work, and with our help, our customers are leaders within their industries.

For 40 years our service record has excelled and today we are recognised across the UK for our reliability and professionalism.

The service we provide is a result of the high standards we set for our people and our fleet. Our drivers, mechanics, planners and the modern fleet we operate deliver an unrivalled service that you can be part of.

Job description

You will be pulling flatbed trailers loaded primarily with sawn timber or precast concrete. These are mainly full loads or double drops to timber merchants and construction sites across the UK.

We have stand trailers at the majority of our customer’s sites. Typically, once you have made a delivery, you will drop the empty trailer you have on at a customer's factory, hook up to a loaded trailer, strap the load and then head off to your delivery destination. We do not use sheets or nets, only straps and ratchets.

We have a do not disturb policy meaning 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.

A typical week for a Tramper Driver at John Miller consists of 13 to 15 hour days, Monday to Friday, with 4 nights out.

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 operate a modern fleet of Scanias, DAFs and Ivecos. We have just taken a delivery of 7 DAF XGs.

We have our own onsite diesel and AdBlue filling station with a wash bay to help drivers fuel and wash trucks with ease.

We have just built a brand new driver welfare facility complete with a kitchen dining area, toilets and showers for drivers to relax and socialise during their down time.
