HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Alnwick

Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across the North East, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.

North East

Settled driving roles in Alnwick

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

Much of the permanent driving work across the North East starts at the A1(M) and A19 corridor estates. 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 the North East follows automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs.

Who we recruit

Permanent driver vacancies we cover in Alnwick

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened before you meet them

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Permanent and temporary

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

Benchmarking the offer

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Alnwick

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

We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

How we find the driver

The brief

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

The shortlist

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

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Setting up the search

A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.

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 licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping

Driver FAQs

Your questions

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 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.

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.
