Permanent HGV drivers for Tamworth

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

Driving employers across the West Midlands include national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

If Tamworth is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Permanent hires across the West Midlands often come from drivers already working around the M6 and M42 corridor parks and the Birmingham industrial estates.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Tamworth — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Tamworth

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

Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

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.

After the start

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

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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

Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process

Yes. Our transport and planning desk recruits the transport office roles around your drivers.

I am a driver. How do I find a permanent role?
