HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Dudley

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

West Midlands

Dudley driver recruitment, done properly

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

Sites across the Golden Triangle parks at Hams Hall and Birch Coppice, the i54 and the M6/M42 distribution belt run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

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 West Midlands follows national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

How we work with Dudley fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Dudley goes to someone who can get there every day.

Assessment drives arranged

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

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 benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Dudley

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

For Dudley operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.

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
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Frequently asked

How do you check drivers before we meet them?

We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.

How long does a permanent driver search take?

It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
