HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Skegness

From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Skegness operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.

East Midlands

Skegness driver recruitment, done properly

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

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

If Skegness is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Across the East Midlands, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal), Magna Park and the big-shed parks on the M1 and A14.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

How we work with Skegness fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Matched to the shift

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

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

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.

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Skegness

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

Pay in the East Midlands moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The brief

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

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

After the start

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

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

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 licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Frequently asked

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.

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 also recruit transport managers and planners?

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

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.

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.
