We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Jarrow and the North East, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Permanent vacancies across the North East come from automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Across the North East, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

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.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
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.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
