Norfolk & the Fens

Recruiting permanent drivers in Great Yarmouth

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

Driving employers across Norfolk & the Fens include agri-food and vegetable processing, cold storage, offshore wind and southern North Sea energy logistics and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

If Great Yarmouth 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.

Depots across the A11 corridor and the Norwich and Thetford distribution parks compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Great Yarmouth

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

What Great Yarmouth employers get

Matched on the job, not just the licence

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Great Yarmouth — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

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 drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Great Yarmouth

Indicative permanent salaries in Great Yarmouth 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

From brief to start date

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

Before we start searching

Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.

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
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
