Permanent driver recruitment for Louth employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Louth sits in the East Midlands — the spiritual home of UK 'big-shed' logistics, with DIRFT and Magna Park among the country's largest distribution clusters. Across the East Midlands, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Magna Park, DIRFT and the East Midlands Gateway beside East Midlands Airport. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.
Permanent demand across the East Midlands follows big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
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 Louth 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 Louth 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.
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.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
