We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Harrogate and Yorkshire & the Humber, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Operators across Yorkshire are served by the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
If Harrogate 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 the M1 and A1(M) junction estates across South and West Yorkshire have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
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 Harrogate 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.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
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.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
