🚛 HGV Class 1 Drivers Wanted – Stoke-on-Trent

Prefer getting on the road early and clocking up the miles?

Drivers Today are recruiting HGV Class 1 (C+E) Drivers for regular distance work based in Stoke-on-Trent.

This role is ideal for drivers who enjoy long-distance driving, general haulage and nationwide runs rather than local multi-drop work.

There may also be occasional nights out, so we're looking for drivers who are flexible and comfortable being away when required.

  • Early morning starts
  • Long-distance / nationwide work
  • General haulage
  • Deliveries & collections
  • Possible nights out

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
