HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Wetherby

Hiring a driver for good in Wetherby? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.

Yorkshire

Permanent HGV drivers for Wetherby

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

Driving employers across Yorkshire include retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.

Across Yorkshire, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M62/M1 corridor, iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

Retention first

We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Wetherby

Indicative permanent salaries in Wetherby run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The search

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
