HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Uttoxeter

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

East Midlands

Permanent drivers for Uttoxeter operators

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

Much of the permanent driving work across the East Midlands starts at the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

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

Permanent demand across the East Midlands follows national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations.

How it works

How a permanent search runs

The shortlist

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

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The start

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

Your brief

What to put in the brief

A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.

Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
