Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Hitchin.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Logistics around Hitchin is shaped by container traffic through the Haven ports, plus a strong agri-food and retail distribution base. Across the East of England, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Hiring across the East of England is shaped by the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
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.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hitchin 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.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
