Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across London & the South East, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Much of the permanent driving work across London & the South East starts at Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across London & the South East include urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Fulham run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in London & the South East moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
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:
Loading live roles…
