Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across the Tees Valley, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Operators across the Tees Valley are served by the A19, A66 and A1(M), Teesport and Teesside International Airport. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.
Across the Tees Valley, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as Teesport and the Teesside Freeport estates.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Billingham goes to someone who can get there every day.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Billingham run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
