HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Howden

From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Howden operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.

Humber & East Yorkshire

Howden driver recruitment, done properly

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

Logistics around Howden is anchored by Humber port traffic, the offshore wind cluster and a substantial bulk and chemicals sector. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the Humber & East Yorkshire include port and bulk terminal operators, offshore wind and renewables supply chains, chemicals and food processing and rail-linked 3PLs.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

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

How we work with Howden fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Retention first

We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

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.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The search

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

Screening

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

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.

Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
