HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Redruth

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

Devon & Cornwall

Permanent drivers for Redruth operators

Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.

Permanent vacancies across Devon & Cornwall come from chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.

Across Devon & Cornwall, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots.

Why Redruth operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

Matched to the shift

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

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Redruth — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

Pay & benchmarking

How it works

How a permanent search runs

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.

The start

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

Your brief

What to put in the brief

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

Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
