Hiring a driver for good in Washington? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Operators across the North East are served by the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across the North East include automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
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 Washington 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.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
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.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
