HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Maidenhead

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

South East

Permanent drivers for Maidenhead operators

Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.

Sites across the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Hiring across the South East is shaped by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

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

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 vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
