Linehaul Driver Nights
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Linehaul Driver Nights role involves transporting freight between FedEx locations during overnight shifts, completing scheduled routes safely and on time. Applicants generally need a valid UK Class 1 (Category C+E) HGV licence, Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), digital tachograph knowledge and a good safety record. Previous trunking, depot-to-depot or commercial driving experience is advantageous. Candidates are expected to work independently, follow transport procedures, complete vehicle checks, manage delivery documentation and maintain professional communication with depot teams. The role requires reliability, punctuality, physical fitness, flexibility for night and weekend work, and a strong commitment to road safety and customer service.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Warehouse, driver and operations jobs are below degree level and cannot be sponsored; only managers can, and logistics managers only while on the shortage list.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Logistics managers are on the interim shortage list today, but the July 2026 review did not recommend them from January 2027. Youth schemes are the usual way in for Canadians, Australians and Indians.
