Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Matlock.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Much of the permanent driving work across the East Midlands starts at the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Hiring across the East Midlands is shaped by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.
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 Matlock run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.

A short brief is enough to start: the vehicle, the pattern of work and the start date.
