We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Bury St Edmunds and the East of England, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Permanent vacancies across the East of England come from port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Across the East of England, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
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.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Bury St Edmunds 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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bury St Edmunds run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
For Bury St Edmunds operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
