From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Leigh operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Much of the permanent driving work across the North West starts at Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Hiring across the North West is shaped by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Leigh run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
