We are recruiting an HGV Driver to join our supportive network of professional drivers, covering our Whitburn Operation Centre and the surrounding area.
You'll be working from Monday to Friday with no bank holiday working, however you will be required to work overnight in some cases.
A Copart Driver loads, collects and delivers predominantly accident damaged vehicles of all shapes, sizes and conditions on our salvage transporters and therefore the role can be physically demanding. We work on behalf of our insurance and automotive customers, to service agreements.
They carry out internal and external checks on their trucks and equipment and report any defects, photograph any damage and carry out inspections of all collected and delivered vehicles.
Copart Drivers must comply with legal and company requirements of a professional driver and operate the vehicle and loading equipment in a safe and efficient manner, following all H&S policies and procedures.
