Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across West Yorkshire, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Driving employers across West Yorkshire include retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Across West Yorkshire, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M62 / M1 corridor, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Leeds goes to someone who can get there every day.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Leeds run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in Yorkshire & the Humber moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
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.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.
Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.
