HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Spalding

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Spalding, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

East Midlands

Permanent drivers for Spalding operators

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

Much of the permanent driving work across the East Midlands starts at DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the East Midlands include big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.

Why Spalding operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Spalding goes to someone who can get there every day.

Pay that lands

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

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 & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Spalding

Indicative permanent salaries in Spalding 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

How a permanent search runs

Screening

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

Interviews and assessment drives

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

The offer

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

Your brief

What to put in the brief

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:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
