Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Barnet transport managers.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Barnet sits inside the UK's largest and most pressured logistics labour market, where last-mile, airfreight and grocery fulfilment compete hard for the same people. Across London & the South East, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
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.
Hiring across London & the South East is shaped by the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Barnet goes to someone who can get there every day.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Barnet run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in London & the South East moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.
