Available to work 40 - 45 hours a week (overtime available)

Aperçu — adapté à Tesco
Dear Hiring Manager,
Tesco's Booker Retail Partners operation is exactly the kind of structured, high-volume transport environment I have been looking for — which is why I am applying for the Class 2 Driver PM Shift role at your Belvedere site. I hold a valid Class 2 licence and a current Driver CPC card, and I bring hands-on experience of multi-drop delivery routes including handball and cage movement at retail delivery points.
My background in Class 2 driving includes completing up to 20 multi-drop deliveries per shift, maintaining full tachograph compliance, and conducting thorough pre-departure vehicle checks. I have experience working with temperature-controlled loads and am comfortable with the physical demands of handballing caged goods in varied weather conditions. I take pride in delivering a professional, courteous service to every retailer on my route.
