HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in York

We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for York and Yorkshire & the Humber, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.

Yorkshire

Recruiting permanent drivers in York

Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.

Sites across the M62 logistics belt, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

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.

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.

What York employers get

Matched on the job, not just the licence

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.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in York — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

How it works

From brief to start date

The search

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

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

Before we start searching

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Common questions

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

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.

Do you recruit drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets?

Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
