HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Lowestoft

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

Norfolk & the Fens

A permanent driving desk for Lowestoft

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

Operators across Norfolk & the Fens are served by the A11, the A47, the A17 and the ports at Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.

Depots across the A11 corridor and the Norwich and Thetford distribution parks compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Roles on our desk

Driving and transport roles

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

What you can expect

Permanent hires that last

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.

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.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Lowestoft — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

What good drivers cost

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Lowestoft

Indicative permanent salaries in Lowestoft 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.

How it works

Our process, step by step

Screening

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

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

The start

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

Your brief

Getting the brief right

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

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

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
