HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Scunthorpe

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

East Midlands

Settled driving roles in Scunthorpe

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

Driving employers across the East Midlands include big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

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

Drivers living near Magna Park, DIRFT and the East Midlands Gateway beside East Midlands Airport have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

Permanent driver vacancies we cover in Scunthorpe

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened before you meet them

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.

Licence and CPC checked

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

Permanent and temporary

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

Benchmarking the offer

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Scunthorpe

Driver FAQs

Your questions

Which licence categories do you recruit for?

Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.

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.

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.

Do you recruit drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets?

Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.

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.
