HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Market Drayton

Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Market Drayton transport managers.

West Midlands

Hiring drivers for good in Market Drayton

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

Much of the permanent driving work across the West Midlands starts at Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.

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

The jobs we work

The permanent seats we fill

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

Our approach in Market Drayton

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Licence and CPC checked

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

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Market Drayton goes to someone who can get there every day.

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, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Market Drayton

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

Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The shortlist

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

The offer

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

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

The brief that works

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

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 shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
