HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Droylsden

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Droylsden, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

North West

Permanent drivers for Droylsden operators

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

Operators across the North West are served by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

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

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the North West include grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders.

Why Droylsden operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

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.

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.

Pay & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Droylsden

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

Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

How a permanent search runs

The search

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

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

The start

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

Your brief

What to put in the brief

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

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

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
