Full Job Description

Join Forge's Class 1 trunking operation on a 4 on, 4 off pattern. You'll move tractor units and trailers between customer sites, with no loading, strapping or manual handling.
Pay and employment
£168 per shift on weekdays and weekends, paid monthly through PAYE. Normal SOLO7 work does not include a night-out allowance.
Illustrative annual earnings
Approximately £30,660 basic per year before tax, based on a 365-day year averaging 182.5 paid shifts on the 4-on, 4-off rota (365 ÷ 2 × £168). This includes paid holiday within the normal rota, assuming holiday is paid at the same £168 rate; holiday is not added as extra shifts.
Optional extra-shift illustrations at £168 per shift: 12 extra shifts in a year gives £32,676; 24 gives £34,692. These are examples, not promised annual pay. Actual paid shifts depend on your rota and any extra work allocated.
There may be opportunities for extra holiday-cover and tramping shifts to increase earnings, subject to availability and applicable driving-hours and working-time limits. The role rate and any eligible night-out allowance will be confirmed when work is allocated. A tramping allowance is not part of normal SOLO7 pay.
Working pattern
Work four shifts followed by four consecutive days off, giving you a regular block of time for life outside work. The role is mainly nights, returning home after each shift.
Start times can change from week to week. You can provide a preferred start-time window, which the team will accommodate as closely as operational requirements allow.
What you'll do
Take a tractor unit to the designated collection point.
Collect an empty or loaded trailer and transport it to its destination.
Complete trunking movements between customer sites.
Follow the work allocated through the Forge driver app.
Carry out professional vehicle checks and comply with driving-hours and working-time rules.

What you'll need
A Class 1 C+E driving licence.
Valid Driver CPC and digital tachograph card.
Flexibility around changing start times.
A professional approach to vehicle checks, safety and compliance.
