Hiring a driver for good in Derby? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Sites across the East Midlands Gateway, the A50 corridor and the Pride Park and Raynesway sites run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across Derbyshire include national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
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.
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 Derby run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
