HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Blackpool

From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Blackpool operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.

North West

Blackpool driver recruitment, done properly

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

Logistics around Blackpool is powered by the M6/M62 corridor, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and one of the UK's densest warehousing clusters. Across the North West, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

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.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the North West include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

How we work with Blackpool fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Licence and CPC checked

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

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Blackpool goes to someone who can get there every day.

Permanent and temporary

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

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Blackpool

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The shortlist

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

The start

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

After the start

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

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

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.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement

Driver FAQs

Frequently asked

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.

How long does a permanent driver search take?

It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.

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.

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.

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.
