HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Bath

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

South West

A permanent driving desk for Bath

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

Logistics around Bath is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

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 Avonmouth and Severnside, the M5 corridor and the Western Approach parks have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

Roles on our desk

Driving and transport roles

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

What you can expect

Permanent hires that last

Retention first

We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.

Pay that lands

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

Assessment drives arranged

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

What good drivers cost

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Bath

Indicative permanent salaries in Bath 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

Our process, step by step

Screening

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

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

For Bath operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • Your interview and assessment drive process

Driver FAQs

The detail

Can you recruit night trunking drivers?

Do you help set the salary?

Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.

Do you cover towns near Bath?

Yes. We recruit permanent drivers across the South West. Tell us where the depot is and we will search within a realistic commute.

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.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
