Hiring a driver for good in Sutton-in-Ashfield? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
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 Midlands come from national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
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.
Depots across DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1 compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Sutton-in-Ashfield goes to someone who can get there every day.

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
