Hiring a driver for good in Newmarket? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Sites across the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11 run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across the East of England include port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
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.
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 Newmarket run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the East of England 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.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
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.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
