Permanent HGV drivers for Cheshunt

Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.

Permanent vacancies across the East of England come from port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

If Cheshunt 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.

Depots across the A1(M) and A421 corridors and the Bedfordshire distribution estates compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent roles across every licence category.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

The depot and the commute

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

Permanent and temporary

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

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.

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Cheshunt

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

Pay in the East of England 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.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The brief

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

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.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

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:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Worth knowing

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.

Do you help set the salary?

Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

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.
