Epping driver recruitment, done properly

Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.

Logistics around Epping is shaped by container traffic through the Haven ports, plus a strong agri-food and retail distribution base. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

If Epping is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Permanent demand across the East of England follows container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution.

The depot and the commute

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

Pay that lands

Pay benchmarks

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

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 offer

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

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

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

If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
