HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Castleford

From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Castleford operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.

Yorkshire

Castleford driver recruitment, done properly

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

Logistics around Castleford is anchored by the M62 corridor, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. Across Yorkshire, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

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.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across Yorkshire include retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port logistics.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

How we work with Castleford fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Castleford goes to someone who can get there every day.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
