Sunday Night Shunter — Felixstowe, £22/hr, 10 Hours Paid
WeekendsSunday night shunting in Felixstowe. 5pm start, 10 hours paid every time at £22 an hour — that's £220 for the night, guaranteed. And here's the bit drivers like: most Sundays you're done before the 10 hours are up, and you still get paid the full 10. Finish early, get paid in full, go home. Perfect add-on if you're already working the Sunday day shunt, or just want a well-paid Sunday evening without giving up your weekend. Ltd or PAYE both welcome. Paid every Friday, no break deductions — paid tacho in to tacho out.
Sunday Yard Shunter — Felixstowe, £20/hr, 10 Hours Minimum Paid
WeekendsSunday-only shunting work in a Felixstowe container yard. 11am start, so you still get your Saturday night and a lie-in. Minimum 10 hours paid at £20 an hour — that's £200 banked every Sunday, guaranteed, even if you're done early. Perfect top-up if you're already working a Mon to Fri week and want a straightforward extra £200. Heads up: it's a tight yard. If reversing a 40-foot box onto a bay with inches to spare is your idea of a good time, this one's for you. If it isn't, probably not. Ltd or PAYE both welcome. Paid every Friday, no break deductions.
Casual & Part-Time Class 1 Drivers — Join the BWN Crew
MixedNot after a full week? Neither are some of our best drivers. We're building a crew of casual and part-time Class 1 drivers to cover odd days, holidays and short-notice shifts across Essex, Suffolk and the ports. Pick up a day here and there, or a few a week — you tell us what you can do and we fit the work around you. Varied work: containers, curtainsiders, fridges, days, nights, the lot. Semi-retired, got another job, just want to keep your hand in — all welcome. Ltd or PAYE. Paid every Friday for whatever you've done, no break deductions. Register once, then just say yes to the shifts you fancy.
Don't see your shift? Call or WhatsApp 07792 414025. Most of our work never makes it to the board.
Straight talk on pay.
Class 1 (C+E) only. The rate is agreed before you start and what we tell you is what lands in your account. No surprises, no “admin deductions”.
That's £200 a shift, minimum. Sent home early? Still £200. Long day? Your hourly rate takes over and you earn more.
Best of both. The floor protects you, the hours pay you.
Paid from the moment your tacho card goes in until it comes out. Breaks included, nothing stopped. Nights, weekends and specialist work sit at the top end. You'll know the rate before you say yes.
Bring a mate.
Earn £250.
Know a good driver? Send them our way. £250 in your pocket if they stay 5 weeks. No limit on how many mates you bring.
Your business, your choice. Both welcome here.
Some agencies make you fit their box. We've got clients for both, so you work the way that suits you.
Run your own show? Good.
- A big book of Ltd-friendly clients, so plenty of work
- VAT registered? We pay the VAT on top. Every invoice.
- Same £1,000 weekly guarantee, same card in card out
- Invoices paid weekly. No 30-day waits, no chasing.
Prefer PAYE? Also good.
- Some of our clients only take employed drivers. We place you with them.
- Tax and NI handled, no paperwork on your side
- Same rates, same respect, same 04:00 phone line
- Wages paid weekly, straight into your account

I was nervous about changing agencies, but joining BWN turned out to be a great decision. Adam made the registration process easy, got me started quickly and kept in contact to make sure everything was going well. The money is competitive and there are plenty of options, including days, nights and tramping. I'd happily recommend Adam and the BWN team to other HGV drivers.
I've been driving Class 1 for years and dealt with plenty of agencies. Adam and his team at BWN are among the best. They're honest about the job before you start, answer the phone when you need them and the pay has always been right. If you're a decent, reliable driver, they'll look after you and keep you working.
I contacted Adam at BWN looking for some extra weekend work and was offered a shift very quickly. Everything was organised properly, and I knew the start time, rate and type of work before agreeing to it. Since then, Adam and his team have given me regular shifts whenever I've wanted them. Friendly, professional and easy to deal with.
I recently earned £1,510 for a week's tramping with BWN, so the earning potential is genuinely excellent. What really gave me confidence was knowing BWN offers a minimum weekly guarantee of £1,000 during slower weeks, subject to the agreed terms. Adam and his team have always been honest about the work, easy to contact and reliable with my wages.
I've worked with BWN for a while now and genuinely can't fault them. I mainly deal with Adam and his team, who are always straightforward and helpful. The work is explained properly, the rates are good and my wages have always been paid correctly and on time. You're treated like a driver, not just another number. I'd definitely recommend BWN to anyone looking for regular driving work around Felixstowe.
One of the better driving agencies I've worked for. Adam at BWN found me work quickly and has kept me busy ever since. Communication is straightforward and he doesn't promise work that isn't there. Any questions are answered quickly, and Adam and his team understand what drivers actually have to deal with. Well worth giving BWN a call.
