HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Burnley

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

North West

Burnley driver recruitment, done properly

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

Logistics around Burnley 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 the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

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 North West follows retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

How we work with Burnley fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Retention first

We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.

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 benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Burnley

Indicative permanent salaries in Burnley 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

Three stages to a hire

The search

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

The shortlist

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

Interviews and assessment drives

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

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

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
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need

Driver FAQs

Frequently asked

Which licence categories do you recruit for?

Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.

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.

Can you recruit night trunking drivers?

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.

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.
