We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Kirkdale and the North West, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
From container logistics on the Mersey to big-shed distribution on the M62, employers around Kirkdale compete for experienced permanent people. Across the North West, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across the North West include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead 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 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 Kirkdale run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
