Permanent driver recruitment for Sudbury employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Permanent vacancies across the East of England come from container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.
Across the East of England, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
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.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Sudbury — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Sudbury run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the East of England 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.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
