Overview
Night Delivery Driver (C1/7.5t CPC) — Dedicated Route Jobs in Langar at Winchester Deliveries
Same route, same drops, every shift. £34,060/year + £500 Christmas bonus + lucrative weekend opportunities. Paid by the shift.
We’re recruiting a permanent overnight driver at our Langar depot.
This isn’t multi-drop work. It isn’t gig work. It isn’t piece rate. It’s a settled, professional driving job with the same route most weeks, the same dealers expecting you overnight, the same vehicle, the same depot team behind you. Most of our drivers have been with us for years.
You’ll spend most shifts on a 3.5t van, occasionally a 7.5t lorry when the load needs it, that’s why we ask for the C1 entitlement.
About JIT Logistics
JIT Logistics has been the dedicated overnight delivery partner for John Deere in the UK for over 38 years. We move agricultural parts overnight to John Deere dealers across the country, so farmers can keep their machinery running. We’re a Nottinghamshire-based, family-owned, independent business with a 30+ strong driver team.
The job
- Drive a 3.5t van on a fixed overnight route (most shifts), or a 7.5t lorry when the load needs it.
- Load and unload using tail-lift and pallet truck
- Deliver to trade premises, established John Deere dealerships, overnight
- No public customer interaction. No piece rate. No surprises
The routes are fixed and known, you learn them inside a couple of weeks. You work the route, you finish your shift, you go home.
Shift Schedule:
Your shift will begin from our Langar depot and entail driving one of five routes on a regular basis. All routes will have set delivery locations.
The average shift duration is 9 hours (depending on which route you will be undertaking).
Shifts run from early Tuesday morning to Saturday morning (with routes rotating daily). The routes will typically start between 1:30-2:00 AM.
Seasonal weekend work (May–Oct) required on a rota basis.
The rotation is fixed and predictable, you’ll always know which week you’re on, so you can plan childcare, family time, and life around it. Alternating keeps the work fair across the depot team, no one’s stuck on the harder shift permanently.
Weekend work runs on a seasonal rota, May–October. When you’re rostered, you work, that’s the deal. But the pay structure makes weekends genuinely worth your time: standard shift rate plus a mileage rate on top, which can make weekend runs significantly more lucrative than weekday shifts.

Why people stay
- It’s a fixed route. Within a month you’ll know the dealers, the buildings, the gates, the access codes. No "where am I tonight?" — you know exactly where you’re going
- You’re paid by the shift, not by the drop. No incentive to rush. No piece-rate anxiety. No customer pressure
- No public customer interaction. Trade premises, not residential. Overnight, when the dealers are closed
- The rotation is predictable. You’ll always know which week you’re on, weeks ahead — you can build life around it: childcare, training, hobbies, family time
- Weekend work pays properly. Standard shift rate plus mileage — the long-distance weekend runs can be the most rewarding shifts of the year
- A proper Christmas off. Nine or ten days clear from Christmas Eve to 2 January — most delivery jobs can’t offer that
- We’re independent and family-owned — not part of a PE chain, not a franchise. The people running the company are the people who answer the phone
- The work is stable. Same customer since 1983
