From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Blyth operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Driving employers across the North East include automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Permanent hires across the North East often come from drivers already working around the A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Blyth — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Blyth 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.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
For Blyth operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
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.
