HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Sutton Coldfield

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

West Midlands

Permanent drivers for Sutton Coldfield operators

Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.

Permanent vacancies across the West Midlands come from automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

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.

Across the West Midlands, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M6 and M42 corridor parks and the Birmingham industrial estates.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
