Trainee HGV Driver
Want to become an HGV Driver but only have a car or van licence? We can help you get there!
Join Copart’s Driver Academy and we’ll invest in your training, giving you the opportunity to gain your HGV licence while earning a guaranteed income along the way.
Based at our Sandwich Operation Centre (CT13 9ND)
You’ll start your Copart journey as a Yard Operative, learning the operation and getting hands-on experience with our vehicles. Alongside this, we’ll fund your HGV theory and practical driving qualifications, subject to a training agreement.
Learn, earn and get behind the wheel
You’ll be supported throughout your training by experienced Copart colleagues and specialist HGV trainers. Training is expected to take around 2–4 months, after which you could be earning around £44,000 a year or more as a Copart HGV Driver.
And the best bit? This isn’t your typical HGV driving role.
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 enjoy Monday to Friday daytime working and a varied role that includes loading and unloading vehicles as well as driving.
Could you be our next Driver Academy success story?
You don’t need previous HGV experience — we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
To be eligible to join our Driver Academy, you’ll need:
- A clean full UK car driving licence
- Excellent customer service skills
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn
- The commitment to complete your HGV training
If you’ve got the enthusiasm and the right attitude, we can help you take the next step towards becoming an HGV Driver.
Ready to get your HGV journey started? Apply now and let Copart help put you in the driving seat.
