Our Client
Our client is a leading specialist transport and logistics business providing heavy haulage, lifting support, and equipment transport services to the construction, infrastructure, and industrial sectors across the UK. Due to continued growth, they are looking to recruit experienced HGV Class 1 Drivers to join their professional transport team.
The Role
This HGV Class 1 Driver role is based in Newport. Drivers can expect regular trunking, general haulage, and barrier movements using a modern fleet of well-maintained vehicles. Shifts are available Monday to Sunday, with average shift lengths of around 10 hours. Day shifts typically start between 05:00hrs and 06:00hrs, while night shifts generally begin at 17:00hrs. The client values reliable drivers and regularly rebooks those who perform well, providing excellent opportunities for ongoing work.
Why Drive for Pure Staff as an HGV Class 1 Driver?
No gimmicks. No confusing pay. Just honest PAYE employment.
Some agencies advertise confusing umbrella assignment rates that include employer on-costs within the advertised rate. Others use outsourced payroll companies that can add unnecessary complexity and leave drivers unsure who is actually paying them. Some even include holiday pay within the hourly rate without making it clear.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
At Pure Staff, we believe in keeping things simple, transparent, and compliant:

Holiday Pay
We believe professional HGV Class 1 Drivers deserve proper paid annual leave.

That means when you take a well-earned break, your holiday pay is there waiting for you.
