Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Wakefield transport managers.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Permanent vacancies across Yorkshire come from retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port logistics. 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.
Hiring across Yorkshire is shaped by the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Wakefield goes to someone who can get there every day.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Wakefield — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wakefield run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

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.
For Wakefield operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
