HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Trowbridge

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

South West

A permanent driving desk for Trowbridge

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

Logistics around Trowbridge is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.

Depots across the Avonmouth and Severnside estates compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Roles on our desk

Driving and transport roles

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

What you can expect

Permanent hires that last

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

Assessment drives arranged

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

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.

How it works

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

After the start

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

Your brief

Getting the brief right

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
