HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Shrewsbury

Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Shrewsbury transport managers.

West Midlands

Hiring drivers for good in Shrewsbury

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

Sites across Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.

Permanent demand across the West Midlands follows automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.

The jobs we work

The permanent seats we fill

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

Our approach in Shrewsbury

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Licence and CPC checked

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

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

Permanent and temporary

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

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Shrewsbury

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

Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

Screening

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

The shortlist

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

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

The brief that works

A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.

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