From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Thornaby operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Permanent vacancies across the Tees Valley come from chemicals and process industries, port and container logistics, steel and heavy manufacturing and rail-linked 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Depots across the Newton Aycliffe and Darlington manufacturing estates compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
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.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.

We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.
It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.
