West Midlands

Permanent HGV drivers for Birmingham

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

Operators across the West Midlands are served by the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the West Midlands include automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Birmingham 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.

Assessment drives arranged

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

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Birmingham

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

Pay in the West Midlands 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.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

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.

After the start

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

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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

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 licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
