HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in St Neots

Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around St Neots.

East of England

A permanent driving desk for St Neots

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

Driving employers across the East of England include container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.

Across the East of England, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11.

Licence and CPC checked

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in St Neots 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.

What good drivers cost

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in St Neots

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

How it works

Our process, step by step

The brief

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

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.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

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

Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • Your interview and assessment drive process

Driver FAQs

The detail

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.

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.

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.
