Permanent driver recruitment for Cramlington employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Permanent vacancies across the North East come from automotive and process-industry supply chains, port and container logistics and retail DCs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Across the North East, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the A1(M) and A19 corridor, the Port of Tyne, Teesport and the automotive supply-chain parks.
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.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cramlington run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
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.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
