HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Ludlow

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

West Midlands

Ludlow driver recruitment, done properly

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

Much of the permanent driving work across the West Midlands starts at the M6 and M42 corridor parks and the Birmingham industrial estates. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

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.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the West Midlands include automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

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

How we work with Ludlow fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Licence and CPC checked

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

Assessment drives arranged

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

Permanent and temporary

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

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Ludlow

Indicative permanent salaries in Ludlow run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

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.

Interviews and assessment drives

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

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
