Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Pontefract, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Operators across Yorkshire are served by the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
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.
Permanent hires across Yorkshire often come from drivers already working around the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Pontefract goes to someone who can get there every day.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Pontefract run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in Yorkshire & the Humber 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 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 hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.
