HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Altrincham

Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Altrincham.

North West

A permanent driving desk for Altrincham

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

Permanent vacancies across the North West come from grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.

Drivers living near the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

What you can expect

Permanent hires that last

Assessment drives arranged

Permanent and temporary

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

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 good drivers cost

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Altrincham

If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The search

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

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

Getting the brief right

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
