Permanent driver recruitment for Stalybridge employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Much of the permanent driving work across the North West starts at Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across the North West include grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders.
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.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Stalybridge goes to someone who can get there every day.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Stalybridge run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
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.
