Permanent driver recruitment for Dereham employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Dereham sits in Norfolk and the Fens, served by the A11 and A47 rather than the A14 and Felixstowe corridor that dominates Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
If Dereham 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.
Drivers living near Great Yarmouth port and the southern North Sea energy base have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Dereham goes to someone who can get there every day.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
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 Dereham run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.
