HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Hinckley

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

East Midlands

A permanent driving desk for Hinckley

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Driving employers across the East Midlands include big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.

Permanent hires across the East Midlands often come from drivers already working around the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

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

Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
