HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Rugby

Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across the West Midlands, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.

West Midlands

Settled driving roles in Rugby

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

From national 3PLs to automotive supply chains, employers around Rugby compete for experienced permanent talent in the country's busiest distribution region. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Hiring across the West Midlands is shaped by the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Who we recruit

Permanent driver vacancies we cover in Rugby

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened before you meet them

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

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.

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.

Benchmarking the offer

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Rugby

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

We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

How we find the driver

The search

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

Screening

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

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Setting up the search

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The start date and how many drivers you need

Driver FAQs

Your questions

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.

Do you cover towns near Rugby?

Yes. We recruit permanent drivers across the West Midlands. Tell us where the depot is and we will search within a realistic commute.

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.

I am a driver. How do I find a permanent role?

Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.

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.
