Permanent driver recruitment for Braintree employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Driving employers across the East of England include container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Permanent hires across the East of England often come from drivers already working around the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Braintree — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Braintree run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. 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.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
For Braintree operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
