Hiring a driver for good in Cambridge? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Sites across the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
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.
Hiring across the East of England is shaped by the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Cambridge goes to someone who can get there every day.
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 Cambridge 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.
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.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
