Job Description

Driver Hire Leeds West are currently looking to recruit a number of HGV Class 1 / Class 2 Drivers to join our expanding team working for our growing roster of clients within the Leeds Area.

We are looking for drivers with experience who would be happy to work on either a full time, part time or ad-hoc basis. However, reliability is paramount. We often find ourselves having to cover shifts at the last minute, so a degree of flexibility is asked of all our drivers for us to be able to cover all our available shifts. Therefore, you must be able to communicate clearly with our consultants regarding your availability for work. It's imperative we know who is available and when in case a last-minute shift becomes available.

We encourage applications from drivers who have experience using HIAB and Moffett with the relevant tickets.

We work with some great companies in the area, and we believe our service is vital to supporting them, and that's where you come in. We look out for our drivers by checking in with them on a regular basis, helping them find the right companies for them and making them feel like members of our family.

As part of working for Driver Hire, our drivers can earn as much or as little as they want, depending on the number of assignments they work. You can work a full week, a couple of days, or just weekends if you want - it's completely up to you!

Whilst many of our pay rates are determined by our clients, some do pay more. We will always argue for the best pay rates for our drivers. Our Payrates start at £16.81ph for Class 1 and £15.24ph for Class 2 work, however, more can be earned with overtime weekends rates exceeding £23.53. These rates include Holiday Pay upfront. We operate our own payroll too, so you won't be shortchanged by those pesky Umbrella Companies.

Basic Requirements of the Role

  • 1 Year HGV Class 1 / Class 2 Driving Experience

  • Fully up to date licences

  • A Full CPC Card

  • Safety Boots and Hi-Vis

  • Flexibility / Communication and Honesty


Our current drivers love working for Driver Hire. In a recent company wide survey 95% of our drivers feel Proud to work for Driver Hire, which is a testament to how we work and treat our drivers. We are a diverse and inclusive employer and welcome applications from all members of society.

If joining the Driver Hire team sounds good to you, then please give us a call our office or apply online and one of our team of friendly consultants will be in touch to arrange an interview.
