The scheme works by coming in and for an assessment period of 1 month where you drive a 3.5t van and undertake deliveries in the same way that an HGV would. Within the month you can gain a good understanding whether this is the correct carrer path for you and also allows us to assess that you are capable for a role in the industry.

Providing your are successful on the month trial you will enter a contract with the company and the training will be funded at a zero cost to you providing you stay with the company for a certain time frame. Please note to gain a full HGV licence can take a number of months depending on test avaialbilty and success rate in passing

Please be aware that on succesful completeion of the HGV training there is a high chance you will be expected to be away from home due to the nature and locality of our business. this will be discussed in more detail at point of interview

The training program is only available for our Bideford and Launceston depots and runs on a waiting list.

Before you can be entered on the program you must hold a full car driving licence and preferably have your HGV provision sorted.

Candiates who have their provisional licence and undertake their HGV theory, hazard perception and CPC module 2 will be fast tracked through the wiating lsit and process.
