Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Crewe transport managers.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Crewe sits in the North West — the region's logistics engine, where Trafford Park, the M62 and the Port of Liverpool drive distribution across the North. Across the North West, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool. 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.
Permanent demand across the North West follows retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Crewe 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.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
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.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
