Recruiting permanent drivers in Batley

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

Sites across the M62/M1 corridor, iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across Yorkshire include retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Batley

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

What Batley employers get

Matched on the job, not just the licence

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Batley — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

What drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Batley

Indicative permanent salaries in Batley run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

From brief to start date

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Before we start searching

Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.

If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Common questions

Can you recruit night trunking drivers?

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.

Do you help set the salary?

Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
