HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Bolton

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Bolton, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

North West

Permanent drivers for Bolton operators

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

Permanent vacancies across the North West come from retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

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

Permanent hires across the North West often come from drivers already working around the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal.

Why Bolton operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

The depot and the commute

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

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.

Pay & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Bolton

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

How it works

How a permanent search runs

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

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

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

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 licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
