East Midlands

Permanent HGV drivers for Chesterfield

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

Driving employers across the East Midlands include national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.

Across the East Midlands, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as Magna Park, DIRFT and the East Midlands Gateway beside East Midlands Airport.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Chesterfield — 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 Chesterfield

Indicative permanent salaries in Chesterfield 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

What happens after you brief us

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

What we ask at the start

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

Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
