This is a genuine general haulage and flatbed tramping position, so we're specifically interested in experienced drivers who are comfortable securing loads, using ratchet straps and spending several nights away each week.

- HGV Class 1 / Category C+E driving

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.
You'll need to be comfortable working independently and using your own initiative when you're out on the road.
Flatbed Experience Is Important
This isn't simply RDC-to-RDC curtain-side trunking. We're looking for drivers who understand general haulage and load security, ideally with previous flatbed experience.
You should be confident using ratchet straps correctly and safely and understand your responsibilities for checking and securing a load.

For this particular contract, applicants must have:
- Minimum 2 years' HGV Class 1 experience
- Valid UK Category C+E licence
- Valid Driver CPC

- General haulage experience

Proper Tramping – Regular Long-Term Work
This role is aimed at drivers who genuinely enjoy tramping.
You won't be expected to return to Wolverhampton every evening. You'll be travelling throughout the UK, completing deliveries and collections and spending multiple nights away during the working week.
In return, you'll have the opportunity to settle into regular work with the same transport operation, rather than constantly moving between different agency assignments.
