Overview

Silver Arrow Haulage is recruiting an experienced Night Trunking Driver for a well-organised general haulage operation based in Spalding. This is an excellent opportunity for a professional HGV driver who holds a valid ADR licence and is looking for steady night work, structured trunking runs and a realistic earning potential of up to £51,936 per year.

This role is suited to a reliable driver who enjoys night trunking, depot-to-depot work and keeping to planned schedules. You will be working from the Spalding area, supporting trunk movements across established transport lanes, including routes that may connect with or run towards Scunthorpe, Widnes, Darlington, Thetford and Carlisle. The work is general haulage with ADR requirements, so attention to detail, safe handling and compliance are essential.

The position would suit drivers living in or around Spalding, as well as those with access to the wider logistics network around Scunthorpe, Widnes, Darlington, Thetford or Carlisle. We understand that HGV drivers travel for the right job, particularly when the work is consistent, the vehicles are well managed and the pay is competitive.

As a Night Trunking Driver, you will play a key role in keeping freight moving through the night. This is not multi-drop parcel work. The focus is on safe, efficient linehaul and trunking movements, working to transport plans and maintaining high standards on every shift. If you are an ADR-qualified HGV driver looking for night driving work in the Spalding area, this could be the right move for you.

About the Night Trunking Driver Role

The role involves night trunking duties from the Spalding operating area, moving freight between depots, hubs and customer sites. You may be working on regular routes or planned trunk movements depending on operational needs. The transport team will provide clear instructions, and the expectation is that you complete each run safely, professionally and in line with drivers’ hours and ADR rules.

Typical routes may involve regional and national trunk work, with links to major transport areas including Scunthorpe, Widnes, Darlington, Thetford and Carlisle. Drivers with experience of routes around Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire, the North West, the North East, East Anglia and Cumbria will be well suited to this position.

This is a practical, hands-on HGV night trunking job where professionalism matters. You will be representing Silver Arrow Haulage and the customer at all times, so a steady approach, good communication and a strong understanding of road transport compliance are important.

Key Responsibilities

• Complete night trunking runs from the Spalding area in a safe, timely and professional manner.
• Carry out general haulage movements, including ADR-related loads where required.
• Follow planned routes and transport instructions, including trunk routes towards areas such as Scunthorpe, Widnes, Darlington, Thetford and Carlisle.
• Carry out daily vehicle checks and report any defects correctly before leaving site.
• Ensure all paperwork, PODs, delivery notes and ADR documentation are completed accurately.
• Work in line with drivers’ hours, Working Time Directive and tachograph regulations.
• Maintain safe loading, securing and load-checking standards throughout the shift.
• Communicate clearly with the transport office, depot staff and customers where needed.
• Drive responsibly through the night, maintaining a high standard of road safety and fuel-efficient driving.
• Represent Silver Arrow Haulage and the customer in a professional manner at all times.

Driver Requirements

To be considered for this Night Trunking Driver job in Spalding, you must have the correct HGV driving entitlement and an ADR licence. We are looking for drivers who take pride in their work and understand the importance of compliance, safety and punctuality.

• Professional attitude with good communication skills.
• Reliable, punctual and able to follow transport plans accurately.
• Comfortable with trunking routes from Spalding and wider lanes towards Scunthorpe, Widnes, Darlington, Thetford and Carlisle.

ADR experience is particularly important. You do not need to be reminded how much care and attention ADR loads require, and we are looking for a driver who treats every load correctly from start to finish. If you have worked on ADR general haulage, night trunking or depot-to-depot movements before, that experience will be highly valued.

• Suitable for experienced ADR drivers looking for consistent night driving.
• Modern haulage environment with a strong focus on safety and compliance.

We know that good drivers want more than just a pay figure. You want sensible planning, fair communication and a transport team that understands the job. This role is built around night trunking, so the aim is to keep the work as efficient and straightforward as possible while maintaining the standards expected in ADR general haulage.

Who This Job Would Suit

This vacancy would suit an ADR-qualified HGV Class 1 driver who is comfortable working nights and wants regular trunking work from Spalding. It may appeal to drivers currently travelling from Scunthorpe, Widnes, Darlington, Thetford or Carlisle for the right logistics role, especially those used to national trunk routes and planned depot work.

You may already be working in general haulage, chemical distribution, pallet network trunking, linehaul or ADR transport. You may be looking to move away from heavy multi-drop work and into a more structured night trunking role. If you are based in Spalding, or you know the transport corridors between Spalding, Scunthorpe, Widnes, Darlington, Thetford and Carlisle, your experience will be relevant.

We are particularly keen to hear from drivers who value compliance. ADR work needs the right mindset. The right driver will complete checks properly, keep paperwork accurate, follow site rules and keep the transport office updated if anything changes on the road.
