HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Wombwell

Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Wombwell.

Yorkshire

A permanent driving desk for Wombwell

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Much of the permanent driving work across Yorkshire starts at the M62 logistics belt, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.

Permanent demand across Yorkshire follows retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port logistics.

Matched to the shift

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

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Wombwell goes to someone who can get there every day.

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping

Driver FAQs

The detail

Which licence categories do you recruit for?

Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.

How do you check drivers before we meet them?

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.

Can you recruit night trunking drivers?

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

I am a driver. How do I find a permanent role?

Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
