HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Slough

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

South East

Hiring drivers for good in Slough

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

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.

Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the South East include grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.

Permanent roles across every licence category.

Our approach in Slough

Right driver, right shift, right depot

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.

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Slough

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

Pay in the South East 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

Brief, search, shortlist

The brief

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

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

The start

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

Your brief

The brief that works

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping

Driver FAQs

Before you ask

Do you recruit permanent HGV drivers in Slough?

Yes. We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for operators across the South East, placed directly onto your payroll.

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 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.
