We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Penistone and Yorkshire & the Humber, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.

Yorkshire

Recruiting permanent drivers in Penistone

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

Permanent vacancies across Yorkshire come from retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

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.

Depots across the M62 logistics belt, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
