Frequently Asked Questions

What licence do I need to apply for?

A valid CE driving licence, which covers articulated vehicles — a tractor unit with a semi-trailer.

Do I need a Driver CPC / Code 95?

Yes. A valid Driver CPC — Code 95 (FIMO/FCO) — is required before you can drive professionally.

What routes will I be driving?

National and European routes from the Lyon logistics crossroads toward the Rhône corridor, Spain, Italy and the Benelux.

What is the salary?

2,300–3,200 EUR gross per month, gross base plus frais de déplacement and paid heures supplémentaires, so real take-home is often higher.

What type of contract is offered?

A permanent employment contract from your first day of work — not agency or B2B terms.

How modern is the fleet?

The fleet is maintained to a high standard, with modern, well-equipped, and comfortable cabs.

Is experience required?

Yes, a minimum of 2+ years of CE driving CE-category vehicles. More experience is always welcome.

Do I need to speak French?

French is needed for most domestic work; English for international.

Is an ADR certificate required?

ADR is not required but is an advantage; we will also consider drivers without it.
