HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Carmarthen

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

West Wales

Carmarthen driver recruitment, done properly

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

Permanent vacancies across West Wales come from energy and fuel terminals, Irish Sea ferry operators, agri-food and dairy processing and regional hauliers. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

If Carmarthen is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Drivers living near Pembroke Dock and Fishguard and the Irish Sea ferry routes have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

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 Carmarthen 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.

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.

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Carmarthen

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

If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The brief

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

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

Details that sharpen the search

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

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
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
