Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Newcastle upon Tyne, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Newcastle upon Tyne anchors the North East, with the Port of Tyne and the region's automotive supply chain shaping its logistics labour market. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
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.
Across Tyne & Wear, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the Port of Tyne, the A19 automotive corridor and the Team Valley trading estate.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
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.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
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 Newcastle upon Tyne run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the North East moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
