HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Dewsbury

Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Dewsbury.

Yorkshire

A permanent driving desk for Dewsbury

Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.

Driving employers across Yorkshire include retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

If Dewsbury 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.

Permanent hires across Yorkshire often come from drivers already working around the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster.

Roles on our desk

Driving and transport roles

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

What you can expect

Permanent hires that last

Retention first

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.

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

What good drivers cost

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Dewsbury

Indicative permanent salaries in Dewsbury 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.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The brief

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.

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

For Dewsbury operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.

A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

The detail

How do you check drivers before we meet them?

We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.

Do you help set the salary?

Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Do you also recruit transport managers and planners?

Yes. Our transport and planning desk recruits the transport office roles around your drivers.

I am a driver. How do I find a permanent role?

Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
