HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Brixham

Devon & Cornwall

Brixham driver recruitment, done properly

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

The market around Brixham is a long-distance market — planning around drive times and seasonality matters more than motorway proximity. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

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

Hiring across Devon & Cornwall is shaped by the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

How we work with Brixham fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

The depot and the commute

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

Permanent and temporary

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

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Brixham

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

Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The search

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

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.

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.

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 shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

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.
