Humber & East Yorkshire

Recruiting permanent drivers in Driffield

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

Driving employers across the Humber & East Yorkshire include port and bulk terminal operators, offshore wind and renewables supply chains, chemicals and food processing and rail-linked 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.

Hiring across the Humber & East Yorkshire is shaped by the M62, the A63, the A15 and the ports of Hull, Immingham and Goole: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Driffield — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

Through the first weeks

What drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Driffield

Indicative permanent salaries in Driffield run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
