HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Rotherham

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

Yorkshire

Permanent drivers for Rotherham operators

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

Operators across Yorkshire are served by the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

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

Employers hiring permanent drivers across Yorkshire include retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port logistics.

Why Rotherham operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

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 Rotherham — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

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 & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Rotherham

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

Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

How a permanent search runs

Screening

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

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

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

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
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
