Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Ulverston transport managers.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Employers around Ulverston recruit for chilled distribution, defence and marine supply chains and long-haul trunking. Across Cumbria, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the Kingmoor Park estates at Carlisle and the A69 corridor. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Hiring across Cumbria is shaped by the M6 and A66, the West Coast Main Line and the port of Workington: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Ulverston goes to someone who can get there every day.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ulverston run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
