Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Stamford transport managers.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Operators across the East Midlands are served by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. 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.
Permanent hires across the East Midlands often come from drivers already working around the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
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.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Stamford — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Stamford run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the East 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.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
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.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
