North West

Recruiting permanent drivers in Sale

Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.

Operators across the North West are served by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.

Across the North West, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Sale

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

What Sale employers get

Matched on the job, not just the licence

Retention first

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.

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Sale 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.

What drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Sale

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

Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

From brief to start date

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

The start

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

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Before we start searching

A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.

Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
