HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Alfreton

From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Alfreton operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.

East Midlands

Alfreton driver recruitment, done properly

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

Logistics around Alfreton is anchored by the Golden Triangle's national distribution centres and the air-freight hub at East Midlands Airport. Across the East Midlands, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Magna Park, DIRFT and the East Midlands Gateway beside East Midlands Airport. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the East Midlands include national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

How we work with Alfreton fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

The depot and the commute

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

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

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.

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Alfreton

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

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

Screening

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

Interviews and assessment drives

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

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need

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.
