Hiring drivers for good in Nuneaton

Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.

Nuneaton sits in the West Midlands, at the heart of the UK 'Golden Triangle'. Across the West Midlands, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

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 automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators.

Permanent roles across every licence category.

Our approach in Nuneaton

Right driver, right shift, right depot

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.

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

Pay that lands

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

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Nuneaton

Indicative permanent salaries in Nuneaton 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

Screening

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

The shortlist

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

The start

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

Your brief

The brief that works

Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.

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:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Before you ask

How do you check drivers before we meet them?

We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.

How long does a permanent driver search take?

It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.

Can you recruit night trunking drivers?

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
