Permanent HGV drivers for Kirkby

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

Sites across the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.

Permanent demand across the North West follows grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

Matched to the shift

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

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Kirkby

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

Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
