From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Milton Keynes operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Much of the permanent driving work across Buckinghamshire starts at Magna Park Milton Keynes, the Marston Gate and Brogborough parks and the M1 corridor. 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.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across Buckinghamshire include Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead 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.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
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 Milton Keynes 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.
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.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
Loading live roles…
We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.
Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.
Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.
A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
