HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Coventry

Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Coventry transport managers.

Warwickshire & the West Midlands

Hiring drivers for good in Coventry

Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.

Much of the permanent driving work across Warwickshire & the West Midlands starts at Prologis Park Ryton, the Gateway and Whitley sites and the M6/M69 distribution 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 Warwickshire & the West Midlands follows automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.

The jobs we work

The permanent seats we fill

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

Our approach in Coventry

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Pay that lands

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

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

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, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Coventry

Indicative permanent salaries in Coventry 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

Brief, search, shortlist

The search

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

The brief that works

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

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:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
