HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Settle

Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across North Yorkshire, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.

North Yorkshire

Settled driving roles in Settle

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Logistics around Settle is built on agri-food, a strong farming supply chain and long-distance trunking up the A1. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

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 the A1(M) corridor distribution points around Northallerton and Thirsk compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Who we recruit

Permanent driver vacancies we cover in Settle

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened before you meet them

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Settle goes to someone who can get there every day.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Permanent and temporary

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

Benchmarking the offer

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Settle

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

We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

How we find the driver

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

The start

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

Your brief

Setting up the search

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
