HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Nottingham

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

Nottinghamshire

Nottingham driver recruitment, done properly

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

Sites across the M1 corridor parks, East Midlands Gateway and the distribution sites around Junction 26 run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.

Hiring across Nottinghamshire is shaped by the M1, A52 and A453, East Midlands Airport's air-freight hub and the East Midlands Gateway rail terminal: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

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

How we work with Nottingham 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.

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

Assessment drives arranged

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

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Nottingham

Indicative permanent salaries in Nottingham 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 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

Details that sharpen the search

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
