HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Brentwood

Permanent driver recruitment for Brentwood employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.

East of England

HGV and LGV hiring across Brentwood

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

Operators across the East of England are served by the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Permanent demand across the East of England follows container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution.

The roles we cover

Permanent roles on the driving desk

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

Why a specialist driver desk

Built for retention

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Permanent and temporary

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

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.

Salaries in the area

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Brentwood

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

We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Our recruitment process

Screening

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

Interviews and assessment drives

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

After the start

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

Your brief

Your hiring brief

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Questions, answered

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.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

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.

Do you recruit drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets?

Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.

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.
