HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Devizes

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

South West

Hiring drivers for good in Devizes

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Much of the permanent driving work across the South West starts at Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Permanent demand across the South West follows grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs.

The jobs we work

The permanent seats we fill

Permanent roles across every licence category.

Our approach in Devizes

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Licence and CPC checked

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

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.

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Devizes

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

Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

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.

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

Your brief

The brief that works

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

A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
