We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Dagenham and London & the South East, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Operators across London & the South East are served by the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
If Dagenham is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.
Depots across the Heathrow airfreight belt, Park Royal, Enfield and the Thames Gateway compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead 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.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
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 Dagenham 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.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
