HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Redcar

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

Tees Valley

Settled driving roles in Redcar

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

Operators across the Tees Valley are served by the A19, A66 and A1(M), Teesport and Teesside International Airport. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Depots across Teesport and the Teesside Freeport estates compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Who we recruit

Permanent driver vacancies we cover in Redcar

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened before you meet them

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

Permanent and temporary

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

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

Benchmarking the offer

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Redcar

Indicative permanent salaries in Redcar 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.

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

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

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:

  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
