Job Description

You'll run local delivery routes around Newcastle for a frozen food distributor, dropping 10 to 20 stops a day. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Newcastle-based, with most of your time spent at a frozen food distributor. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

Check the load against invoices before signing it out
Fill in the trip sheet with kilometres, fuel and stops
Keep empties and returns separate for credit
Plan your drop order with the dispatch clerk each morning
Check the truck's oil, water, tyres and lights before leaving
Manage your assistant on the truck and share the offloading
Collect cash or cheques on COD deliveries and bank them correctly

What you need

Good knowledge of roads in and around the city
Honest with cash and customer goods
Clean driving record
At least 2 years driving rigid trucks
Friendly and professional with customers

Helpful, not essential

Crane or HIAB operator certificate
Experience on a sales-and-delivery route

On offer

Delivery incentive per completed route
Home every night
Overtime on month-end and peak days

How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Newcastle really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Code 10 licence and PrDP card copies, references from delivery or distribution jobs plus ID copy and proof of residence.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Before you hit apply

Name the areas you know well. A driver who already knows the route saves the company money from day one.
Mention cash handling if you have done COD deliveries. Honest cash drivers are what distributors worry about most.
