HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Farnham

Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Farnham.

South East

A permanent driving desk for Farnham

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

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.

Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.

Across the South East, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick.

Roles on our desk

Driving and transport roles

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

What you can expect

Permanent hires that last

Licence and CPC checked

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

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

Assessment drives arranged

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

What good drivers cost

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Farnham

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

A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Our process, step by step

Screening

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

Interviews and assessment drives

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

The offer

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

Your brief

Getting the brief right

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

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:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need

Driver FAQs

The detail

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.

Do you help set the salary?

Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.

Do you cover towns near Farnham?

Yes. We recruit permanent drivers across the South East. Tell us where the depot is and we will search within a realistic commute.

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.

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.
