South East

Permanent HGV drivers for Fareham

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

Operators across the South East are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

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.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

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.

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.

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Fareham

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

Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The brief

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

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

The offer

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

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

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
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Worth knowing

Do you recruit permanent HGV drivers in Fareham?

Yes. We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for operators across the South East, placed directly onto your payroll.

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.

I am a driver. How do I find a permanent role?

Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
