HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Haverhill

Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across the East of England, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.

East of England

Settled driving roles in Haverhill

Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.

From customs and forwarding to retail distribution, employers around Haverhill need experienced permanent people who know the East's port-driven supply chains. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Permanent hires across the East of England often come from drivers already working around the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11.

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened before you meet them

The depot and the commute

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

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

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.

Benchmarking the offer

How it works

How we find the driver

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

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

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Your brief

Setting up the search

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process

Driver FAQs

Your questions

Do you recruit permanent HGV drivers in Haverhill?

Yes. We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for operators across the East of England, 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.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.
