Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across the West Midlands, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Much of the permanent driving work across the West Midlands starts at the Black Country manufacturing belt and the M5 northern corridor. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Permanent demand across the West Midlands follows automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Cannock goes to someone who can get there every day.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cannock run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
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:
Loading live roles…
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.
Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.
Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.
Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.
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.
