Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Sleaford transport managers.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Sleaford sits in the East Midlands — the spiritual home of UK 'big-shed' logistics, with DIRFT and Magna Park among the country's largest distribution clusters. Across the East Midlands, permanent drivers work out of sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across the East Midlands include national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
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.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Sleaford 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.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
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.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
