HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Daventry

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

East Midlands

Daventry 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 the East Midlands come from national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.

Drivers living near the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

How we work with Daventry 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.

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

Permanent and temporary

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

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Daventry

Indicative permanent salaries in Daventry 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

Three stages to a hire

The brief

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

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

The start

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

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

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:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
