HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Oswestry

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

West Midlands

Hiring drivers for good in Oswestry

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

Permanent vacancies across the West Midlands come from automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

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

Permanent hires across the West Midlands often come from drivers already working around the Golden Triangle parks at Hams Hall and Birch Coppice, the i54 and the M6/M42 distribution belt.

Our approach in Oswestry

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.

The depot and the commute

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

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Oswestry

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

A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. 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.

Interviews and assessment drives

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

The offer

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

Your brief

The brief that works

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • Your interview and assessment drive process

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.

Do you help set the salary?

Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Do you also recruit transport managers and planners?

Yes. Our transport and planning desk recruits the transport office roles around your drivers.

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.
