Permanent driver recruitment for Richmond employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Sites across the Dales and Vale of York agricultural distribution network run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Permanent demand across North Yorkshire follows food and drink manufacturers, agricultural supply chains, rural distribution operators and A1 trunking hauliers.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
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 benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Richmond run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
