Hiring a driver for good in Solihull? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Much of the permanent driving work across the West Midlands starts at Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Hiring across the West Midlands is shaped by the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
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.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Solihull run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the West Midlands 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.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
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.
