HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Sevenoaks

We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Sevenoaks and the South East, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.

South East

Recruiting permanent drivers in Sevenoaks

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

Operators across the South East are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. 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.

Drivers living near the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Sevenoaks

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

What Sevenoaks employers get

Matched on the job, not just the licence

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.

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

What drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Sevenoaks

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

A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

From brief to start date

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

The search

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

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Your brief

Before we start searching

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

Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • Your interview and assessment drive process

Driver FAQs

Common questions

How do you check drivers before we meet them?

We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.

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 Sevenoaks?

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

Do you also recruit transport managers and planners?

Yes. Our transport and planning desk recruits the transport office roles around your drivers.

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.
