HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Letchworth

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Letchworth, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

East of England

Permanent drivers for Letchworth operators

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

Letchworth draws on the East of England's port, forwarding and customs talent, concentrated along the A14 and M11. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

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.

Drivers living near Felixstowe — the UK's largest container port — the A14 freight corridor and the parks along the M11 and A1(M) have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

Why Letchworth operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

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.

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

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.

Pay & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Letchworth

Indicative permanent salaries in Letchworth 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

How a permanent search runs

The shortlist

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

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The start

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

Your brief

What to put in the brief

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 licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
