HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Otley

Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across Yorkshire, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.

Yorkshire

Settled driving roles in Otley

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

Much of the permanent driving work across Yorkshire starts at iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the distribution parks along the M62 and M1. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across Yorkshire include retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs.

Who we recruit

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened before you meet them

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Otley goes to someone who can get there every day.

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Otley — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

Benchmarking the offer

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Otley

Indicative permanent salaries in Otley run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

How we find the driver

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

The search

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

Setting up the search

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Your questions

Do you recruit permanent HGV drivers in Otley?

Yes. We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for operators across Yorkshire, placed directly onto your payroll.

How do you check drivers before we meet them?

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.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Do you recruit drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets?

Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

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.
