Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Morpeth.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Permanent vacancies across the North East come from automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.
Across the North East, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks.
