We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Leyland and the North West, 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.
From container logistics on the Mersey to big-shed distribution on the M62, employers around Leyland compete for experienced permanent people. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
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.
Across the North West, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
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 Leyland run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the North West 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.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
