Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across the South East, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
From port and Channel freight to retail distribution, employers around Chesham compete hard for experienced permanent people. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Hiring across the South East is shaped by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
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.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Chesham goes to someone who can get there every day.
Indicative permanent salaries in Chesham run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the South East moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
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:

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.
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.
