Wales

Permanent HGV drivers for Aberdare

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

Aberdare draws on Wales' port, manufacturing and distribution talent. Across Wales, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the South Wales M4 distribution belt, the ABP ports and the Deeside Industrial Park. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

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

Permanent demand across Wales follows manufacturing and automotive supply chains, port logistics, retail DCs and national 3PLs.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent roles across every licence category.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

The depot and the commute

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

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

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 Aberdare

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

Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The shortlist

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

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

What we ask at the start

Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.

A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.

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
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Your interview and assessment drive process

Driver FAQs

Worth knowing

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.

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.
