Hiring a driver for good in Manchester? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Sites across Trafford Park (one of Europe's largest industrial estates), Omega in Warrington and Airport City run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across Greater Manchester include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Manchester 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.
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 Manchester run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. 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 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.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
