Rhodes Freight Services is continuing to grow, with exciting plans afoot to broaden our capabilities and appeal to an even greater range of customers.

The shift is a cross-over, as you will be heavily involved with the plan for the coming night and also the next day. You will ensure that the plan is seen through, making any necessary adjustments required before passing this on in detail to the night shift supervisor.
You will deal directly with team members, customers, and service partners both in the UK and worldwide, and, of course, our extensive team of drivers.
