Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Loughborough.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Operators across the East Midlands are served by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Across the East Midlands, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub.
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 look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Loughborough goes to someone who can get there every day.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Loughborough run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the East Midlands 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.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
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.
