HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Tiverton

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

Devon & Cornwall

A permanent driving desk for Tiverton

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Sites across the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

If Tiverton 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.

Hiring across Devon & Cornwall is shaped by the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Roles on our desk

Driving and transport roles

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

What you can expect

Permanent hires that last

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.

Matched to the shift

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

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

What good drivers cost

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Tiverton

Indicative permanent salaries in Tiverton 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 shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

After the start

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

Your brief

Getting the brief right

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

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

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
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
