HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Seaton

Permanent driver recruitment for Seaton employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.

Devon & Cornwall

HGV and LGV hiring across Seaton

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Operations near Seaton run on the A30 and A38 rather than motorways, serving food processors, marine businesses and seasonal retail demand. Across Devon & Cornwall, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

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

Permanent demand across Devon & Cornwall follows chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.

The roles we cover

Permanent roles on the driving desk

Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.

Why a specialist driver desk

Built for retention

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.

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.

Salaries in the area

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Seaton

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

Your brief

Your hiring brief

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

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
