HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Stevenage

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

East of England

Permanent drivers for Stevenage operators

Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.

Sites across Felixstowe — the UK's largest container port — the A14 freight corridor and the parks along the M11 and A1(M) run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

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

Hiring across the East of England is shaped by the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Why Stevenage operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

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.

Matched to the shift

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

Pay & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Stevenage

How it works

How a permanent search runs

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.

After the start

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

Your brief

What to put in the brief

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
