HGV Class 1 Driver General Haulage

Job description

Millison Chase Limited is currently recruiting experienced HGV Class 1 Drivers for ongoing General Haulage and Palletised Distribution work with a number of leading transport and logistics clients.

We are looking for professional Class 1 (C+E) Drivers to carry out deliveries and collections of palletised freight to distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, commercial premises, and warehouses throughout the UK.
